Guardian Dragons have large shields on the end of their tails. Although the shields appear to be heavy, they are light, yet nearly unbreakable. Guardian Dragons use their tail-shields, as well as their wings, to deflect attacks and protect others. Often, they will guard the eggs and hatchlings of a nest while others are away. They are generally peaceful, and will not retaliate unless necessary. They have no need to forage or hunt, as they are fed by those they protect.

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.

Gadian is yet another example of Fiadaeko's far-reaching influence. Though a highly competent guardian and a noble defender of the flight, Gadian is also the silver's spy in the flight's primary defenses. His integrity and loyalty to his mother are often at odds with one another; luckily Fiadaeko knows better than to expose the flight to the external dangers he so vigorously defends against. There is, after all, not much point in endangering the very thing you seek to control.
