Script Dragons are named for the markings along their wings and sides that look almost like calligraphy. The patterns correspond to no known language, and are slightly different on every dragon. These dragons only develop the characteristic markings when they reach maturity, and they are fairly capable with magic once the patterns appear.

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.

ODEwE writes the sort of verse

After which he's named.

Sometimes rambling, sometimes terse,

Once he meets a knight or nurse

Whom he feels should be acclaimed

He'll rhyme of how they should be famed.

.

The runic patterns on his sides

Say, "Kindness" in ten alphabets

Though he is modest, so he hides

His truthful patterning, and guides

Attention to his friends' assets.

He loves too. He's earned his share.
