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.

No matter what the occasion calls for, Salee Runescale always has just what is needed, and she'll sell it for a price so low that it feels like scraping the runes from her scales. A natural salesdragon, she's sold magic amulets to a cassare, socks to a skywing, and gloves to a xenowyrm. Her wares never live up to her extravagant claims, but Salee doesn't mind a little negative word-of-mouth. There's a new prospective customer hatched every minute, after all.
