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.

Dian Cecht was rescued from abandonment by the wizard, Lynn.

Using a little of Lynn's magic, and much of his own know-how, Dian Cecht was able to find his parents and most of his ancestors. However, though his family tree is beautiful and lively, it's also a tangled mess. To that end Lynn suggested the name of a godly healer, which has served the white dragon well.

'Cecht is of average build for his breed, and quite the lookout in the 'Shaded Hallow'. He has a tendency to 'sing' throughout the day, filling the area with his delicate voice (or what passes for such among dragons). At the first sign of trouble, Dian' cries out a warning before flying down from his post, in the canopy, to help gather the children into the cave. From there he supports the defenders with his healing magic.

Because his wings are feathered, the small hatchlings tend to climb all over him when he's in the cave. They don't pull out his feathers, but they sometimes collect and play with the ones lost in preening.
