Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

What a pretty Silver dragon, they said. You'd make a perfect couple, they said. Just think of how pretty the children's lineages will be, they said. But this stupid dragon would have none of it, and upon sticking up her nose and sticking out her tongue at her intended, she promptly flounced away and announced a life of celibacy. However, the full truth is a bit more than meets the eye; she really did give the clumsy Silver a chance, but after one untimely-erupted volcano too many, she decided he was just too much of a dimwitted fire hazard to put up with.
