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.

Swift Purple Fire has never left the comfort of the mountains. He has only seen different breeds of dragons when they come by, and even those rare sightings have been from a distance. Then one day, a magi dragon named Spark Of Magic came by, and it was love at first sight. He agreed to come down to the base of the mountains, near a pond, to live with her. They have raised their first child, Bright Purple Fire, into an adult. She is staying in their nest to help with the next egg they have.
