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.

"Instrumnah: Master, Mountain"

Instrumnah was given to Charimere as an egg to take care of, per request of a friend who had her hands busy taming her own dragons. Instrumnah is known for flying high where the air is coldest, and doesn't seem to mind it a bit. He tends to playfully bring Charimere up as high into the skies, but quickly sets her back down when she protests that the air is too thin for her to breathe. Dunahkrin tends to have to set him straight half of the time as Charimere passes out from lack of oxygen. Overall he's pretty friendly, and he doesn't tend to give rides to those he doesn't trust, so don't worry, visitors are safe from his overplayfulness.
