Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

Lumious Thorntree, unlike the father after which he is named, was raised from an egg with tales of the Draconic Revolution, and its quest to create a government where humans and dragons were equal. He uses his beauty to infiltrate villages, where he gathers information, and scouts out if there are any enemies, on the grounds that no one would ever shoot a silver.<br/>He loves to learn, and fly, and often visits his parents, along with Dragon Writer, who has been squeezed nearly to death on more than one occasion-to the glee of Alexander Shield, who uses it as evidence that Dragon underscore Writer is every bit as fragile as Alex has always claimed.<br/>The fact that most of Lumius's contacts have turned out to be butchers has not gone unnoticed.
