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.

Speckled Dawn is leader of the Ridgewing Dragon Tribe. He was the first born in the Tribe. Since he was a hatchling, he has loved flying and observing the world as it passes by under his mighty wings. His closest friend is Hiaku, the Healer dragon he grew up with. When he was old enough to choose a job for life, he chose to start a new division- the Scout Division. He now leads this new division. He hopes to be a father to many hatchlings one day. Free spirited and wise, Speckled Dawn is an incredible companion and a loyal friend.
