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.

Sokhta, like the moon totem she is named for, is a keeper of mysteries. Also like the moon, she is mercurial and capricious. Unlike many silver dragons, the edges of her scales are worn and chipped, and their surfaces are mottled with tarnish, for she does not deign to waste time endlessly grooming herself when she could be seeking occult lore and working to achieve spiritual mastery (in her own eyes, of course.) This ascetic lifestyle leaves her thin and free-flowing. Her aptitudes are known at Lurhstaap's Breedery, but in her egotism she invariably waits to be sought out, and few do because of her superior attitude, but she is genuinely wise and can be helpful. She is often seen meditating. She tends to avoid the eggs and hatchlings, however, and Lurhstaap has to coax her to breed; she has yet to accept a male as a long term mate, and has no interest in bearing eggs or raising young for herself.
