White Dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can’t bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

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.

Located high up a remote mountain and guarded by frostbite and ice dragons, the Snowfall Assembly is only stumbled across by the deeply determined or desperately lost. Even if the resident solstice takes pity on a lost traveler, they must still prove their worth to the Council of Winter. Anyone allowed to stay will become an expert in all forms of magic related to cold or winter.

Reazi, one of the primary healers, deals with illnesses. The Snowfall Assembly has been isolated for long enough that some of the older residents have lost some resistance to common diseases, so he is responsible for quarantining new arrivals until he is sure that his healing magic has taken care of everything. Anyone who objects to the quarantine usually finds his ice dragon mate to be quite persuasive. Even with Reazi's best precautions, some new strain of cold or flu sweeps through the Assembly every few years.
