Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Wherever there's a vampire, there's always a vampire hunter. Roric Gilt was once a happy dragon. When he reached adulthood, Roric took on the Gilt name. When a gypsy prophesized that the name would bring bad luck, Roric brushed off the warning and forgot about it. Some time later he fell in love with an Electric Dragon and joined her Clan when they became Mates. Her name was Amasia, and Roric loved her more than life itself. They dreamed of having a big family, but disaster came shortly after Amasia laid their second egg. It was a silent winter night. The Clan was attacked. In the confusion Roric was separated from his family. Once he got back to the Nests, it was too late. Roric's egg had been bitten by a Vampire Dragon. Repulsed, Roric abandoned it. Amasia was so devastated that she flew off into the Wilderness. Roric, alone and broken, vowed vengeance on all Vampires. Since that night he dedicated his life to being a Vampire Slayer, forever searching for the one who ruined his life.
