Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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 dismal creature lives in a land where times are hard and people are afraid. This terror--aimed at suspected witches, at foreigners, at all and any who break the laws of normalcy--manifests itself in frequent hangings, the accused left dangling from their nooses like ornaments in the bleak landscape. It is to these monuments to paranoia that this dragon creeps, emerging in the dead of the night and eating her fill from the corpses, grateful for a steady source of meals in an otherwise barren world. Her nightly feedings inevitably lead to yet more terror for the townspeople in the mornings, accusations of vampires and necromancers and black rites, which in turn leads to yet more hangings--and yet more meals for the pale dragon lurking in the dark.
