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.

Silvered is the pride of the metallic clan, being both the eldest in Guillotine's care and from a rather prestigious bloodline. He's a bit of a braggart by proxy, telling elaborate and probably made-up tales of his ancestor's exploits. No one believes him anymore and he knows it, but he's an excellent storyteller and many dragons will take their hatchlings to listen to his tales. He doesn't mind as long as he gets attention. He'll also brag about Delicious Roses's adventures, but given that they're more comedy than anything to everyone but him he tends to get scolded when she hears about it.
