Radiant Angel Dragons are known for their intuition—they always seem to know when someone is feeling down, and will do what they can to provide cheer. These dragons are curious and will poke their noses into anything. They communicate with one another by making sounds similar to singing. It is said that the golden feathers shed from their whiskers can rekindle lost feelings of love.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Gold lives by himself and is happy, and everybody around likes it this way, saying they're happy if he's happy. He used to have a close friend, his most trusted companion for 120-some years. They would travel together, support each other's goals, and confide their troubles. He knew intuitively when she was unhappy and would always try to make her feel better. Over the last few decades, Gold learned about many friendships that just stopped working out. For unknown reasons, people would gradually be less happy, saying their relationship lost luster. This gnawed at him. He couldn't stand the idea of his beloved losing happiness without a way for him to fix it. On the tail-end of her birthday, Gold put a plan he devised into motion: he spiked her dinner with painkillers and dessert with a fast-acting poison. She was dead within 10 minutes, and he could tell, reading her being, that she was happy 'til the end. The toxins gave no opportunity to become sad. This was the perfect solution.
