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.

Lady is shy and timid, never wanting much more than not to be bothered with anything. Her parents could not get her to hatch from her egg, and left her atop the highest mountain peak, thinking her dead. However, during the spring snowmelt, a newly made stream carried her down the peak to the cave home of Flying Fury, and, thanks to the warmth that came from the cave, she hatched. Fury was enamored with the delicate hatchling, and when she grew old enough, took her as his mate. The two now share the very same cave in which they first met, and have settled down to live a peaceful life.
