Diamondwing Dragons are named for the myriad tiny scales that grow on their wing membranes, lending them a faceted, lustrous appearance. These meticulous creatures will spend months ranging far and wide to collect the shiniest trinkets and gemstones to adorn their nests. Once his nest is complete, a male Diamondwing will perform an elaborate aerial dance hoping to impress potential mates with his beauty and prowess.

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.

This dragon spends its life eternally screaming, perched upon the highest mountain peak. It is a wonder the Diamondwing has not damaged its vocal cords beyond repair. Even in sleep, it utters a high-pitched reedy whine, kicking its feet and convulsing.

The most people can assume is that the dragon is cursed, perhaps for offending a powerful Avatar. Still, whatever the reason, it is no surprise that very few other dragons live in that area.
