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.

Wind Dancer is so named because she is a beautiful, swift flier. When she flies, she seems to dance on the wind hence her name. She has a very sweet, gentle temperament and plays the role of nursery maid whenever she can although she is meant to be lookout, like nearly all the good fliers are. Her mate is Mountain Wind and they make a beautiful pair. They are still teaching their young daughter, Swift, the arts of graceful flying and are hoping she will turn out like them. They are in hope more young as Dancer loves eggs and hatchlings.
