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.

High up in the eastern mountain range, almost exactly half the way to the top of the highest peak, there's a large, peaceful lake fed by a subterranean source. Living in that lake is a small pod of Waterhorses. Around the lake there's a wide area of meadows and alps, providing rich nutrition to a variety of animals as well as a home to a group of Ridgewings. Although these two breeds seldom have an opportunity to meet, these specific Waterhorses and Ridgewings have formed a close bond, living together as one.

Tadj is very happy living in such a beautiful place with an absolute breathtaking view. She believes this is the ideal place to contemplate and celebrate creation in all of its glory. Her secret plan is to build a temple, close to the lake where her family lives but far enough that dragons can meditate there in peace. She has already picked the perfect place and once her planning is finished, she will build the most glorious piece of architecture dragonkind has ever seen.
