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.

In this land, there has been a recent appearance of another Lady Ridgewing, first was Lady of Nu'uanu of the valley and now there is Lady of Makapu'u of the cliffs. She, too, performs awesome aerial acrobatics. Now, some might think that having two of these aerodynamic acrobats maybe unoriginal or even boring, but should consider that the style and tricks are in fact different because of the different types of wind and environments. Lady of Nu'uanu uses the channeled winds in the valleys to her advantage, which makes for more graceful and beautiful techniques. Lady of Makapu'u has the winds of the sea near the sharp angular cliffs, while not as graceful, she reaches amazing speeds and uses the velocity to create spirals of seawater that arc and whirl through the sky. Both of these ladies' showcased capabilities have left thousands in admiration.
