Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

On clear, warm April nights, there is a sense of malice in the air that matches poorly with the weather. The stars seem shaded, the wind carries whispers of warning, and all souls lock themselves securely indoors, shuddering and praying for the return of the sun.

But by the time it comes, it's far too late.

"THAT BLOODY ALBINO ATE ALL THE EASTER EGGS AGAIN!" come the wailing screams of the mourners, children sobbing, parents wearily resigning themselves to cruel fate and making ready to set up a whole new batch of eggs. The exceptionally evil albino responsible for this doesn't always get away with her madness, however; the crumbs and fudge smudges around her pale lips usually give the culprit away, and then the whole town is after her throwing less than tasty types of eggs!
