Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

Vasrian was once the dragon of a human girl who was known for her love of socks and her skills for writing. She had many friends who helped her with her job of critiquing others' writing. Vasrian longed to be part of their group, but he could never fully understand the complex set of rules of the language and often ended up going with what sounded good to him but was often incorrect grammatically. His determination to be helpful often irritated the humans, whose patience was already stretched thin by authors who grew outraged when their faults were pointed out, and he was often sent away. He never understood why they didn't appreciate his help and thought that their anger was directed at him rather the mess he unintentionally made. But his owner always seemed to have patience to spare with him, and when she disappeared he was heartbroken that his one friend had left him. But a new purpose lends power to his step as he wanders through the countryside—finding any trace of his owner.
