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.

The adopted offspring of Artorious Avalonis, young Excalibur has been trained with the best and learned first-hand how to become an impressive elite guardian. Despite the skills and natural talents, his youth and inexperience still show from time to time. This often results in brash decision and inevitably, terrible mistakes. Still, this young dragon is well beloved by his comrades and fellow dragons for his courage and loyalty, none more so than his life mate, Saxon.
