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.

Haunting used to be a fairly normal and unassuming shiny silver dragon. However, a tragic accident has left her half living and half ghost. While she is still solid, and capable of laying eggs, she is distant, and her presence tends to unnerve others. She also somehow knows and sees things beyond what the living can comprehend. She spends her time around the only dragons who can understand what she experiences- the dragons who study the arcane magic of the night.
