Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

Sterling Rod believes in a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to dragons. It is "as vast as space and as timeless as infinity". It is a place he calls... The Twilight Zone.

Apparently it is full of strange supernatural happenings, but how it varies from the magic and extraterrestrial activity of everyday Valkemare is unclear. He does have a great repertoire of stories, including some about the planet Antarea, where (at least according to him) the antarean dragons come from. Definitely NOT a Chicken and some of the other elder anterians interrupt his retellings to nitpick on the details of how Anteria was like or what actually happened to make them come to Valkemare, but when let alone he is a wonderful narrator. Many of his tales are creepy, but others are sweet, and it is impossible to tell which he is going to tell until the end.
