Skysilk Dragons spend their days drifting through the heavens, their voluminous manes billowing like clouds. Imbued with air mana, their fluffy fur is incredibly lightweight—so much so that it defies gravity, taking on a mind of its own as it puffs upward. This property makes them quite popular among avian species—birds flock together for the opportunity to play among a Skysilk’s fleecy crown. Docile and patient, Skysilks are quite tolerant of this treatment, with hatchlings in particular developing tight-knit friendships with their feathered visitors. Interestingly, their lustrous scales always retain their dull gleam, despite the frequent presence of tiny critters.

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.

Skylk is a sweetie whose biggest faults are that he's too interested in his appearance and he's a pushover at worst. One might wonder why he's frequently assigned to guard duty at the territory edges where nastier dragons tend to step foot (or flap wing as the case may be), but his serenity and talent for phrasing his thought snippets and words for the best results causes even the meanest and baddest of trespassers to rethink their priorities and turn around. People who think, "There's no way Skylk could talk his way out of THIS one!" are invariably surprised to find out that he's talked his way out of this one. The residents in his community who dislike him and think he manipulates people with mind control rather than use real diplomacy skill still agree he's a good fit for his job and prefer he be on patrol than anyone else.
