Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

A creature with the unusual ability to detect approaching disasters, this female's ability has made her both needed and hated. Her warnings usually give those around her several days to flee whatever calamity is coming, but the fact remains that she is a herald of misfortune, her voice almost always confirming some ill omen. Some of the more hateful among the crowds whisper that she is herself the cause of all the tragedies she foresees. And yet even as she is reviled and feared for what she is, she continues to relay her warnings, finding the safety of others more important than how others regard her.
