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.

Candalayar, the Bright Oracle, came to the Valley Clan critically wounded. It took the combined magics of Kylati and Shadlin as well as Aunali utterly exhausting herself expending so much healing power to save him.  It was a slow recovery and he will bear the scars for the rest of his life. He now calls the Bitterwind Valley home and the Dragons of this clan his family.

Candalayar is a gold Dragon, but his scales appear dusted in red and a large garnet gem-like scale graces the top of his head.  Some think it is this 'gem' that gives the Bright Oracle his strange talents.  He possesses unparalleled psychic skills, with his strongest abilities lying in the areas of empathy and precognition. He has always used these attributes to help others.  Although his prophesies are generally shrouded in riddles, once they have been solved, Candalayar's visions have always been proven true.
