Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Captain Jack was once a happy-go-lucky dragon who loved the open skies and traveled the world on his golden wings. But that all changed when his firstborn was killed by an unknown force. Returning to his nest he found his egg crushed. Jack wailed into the night sky, his echoing cries terrifying the nearby villages. Knights were summoned and the hunt for him began. As the hunters came upon him, Jack unleashed a blast of flame, setting the forest ablaze as he made his escape. He never wanted to attack a single living creature, but he vowed to find his child's murderer and make him pay. After that he planned to vanish. He knew he was breaking the Golden Wyvern code, but blinded by grief, he saw no other way.
