Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

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.

Microfilm lives in a cave near the Spring of Healing and Other Minor Miracles. After crossing a small stream and meandering through a long, curving tunnel, visitors come across a hexagonal pool with a bed of crystals, beside which is Microfilm and her husband's home. They welcome travelers and provide fun and educational commentary about the various wildlife around the pool and on the ceiling. The Spring of Healing and Other Minor Miracles can usually make someone feel a bit better when they touch the water. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it will turn something orange and purple. Sometimes it will ripple slightly and do nothing. Microfilm theorizes that the liquid in the pool can detect "worthiness" in a subject, but of course, she doesn't know. People think she's wise and trust her because she lives near the spring and knows a bit about it, but really, she and her spouse just entered the tunnel and inhabited a comfortable-looking nook, and nobody seemed to mind or know.
