Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

Drago Seron, Life Mate to Hystefrill, has always been slightly vain, though never beyond tolerability. His poise and intellect always fascinated his green-frilled mate, and he was more than happy to teach her his skills, time consuming though the practice was. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, the two would go through life as ever-grateful Mates--Mates that might never have met without The Master.
