Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

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.

When Innich matured, she had only to snap her claws and a dozen males would come scampering for a morsel of her attention. She studied each of them at her leisure, desiring a mate for life and thus meant to choose wisely. But the more she studied them the more bored she grew with each of them. Well, not all of them: there was one mysterious Guardian with a rough appearance who would come in the cave every morning and depart again before sunset. She felt desperately attracted to this tantalizing, taciturn warrior. Once mated, however, she soon experienced the downsides of choosing Liathgorm as her partner: even for her sake he would not give up his duty of guarding the coast at night, and she doesn't get to see her mate anywhere near as much as she would like to. Particularly in winter when night lasts twice as long as day she has only a few hours to enjoy his company. Now her life has become a desperate struggle for the attention of her mate.
