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.

The Deadly Golden King is a caveborn metallic from a foreign land, who traveled a long way to find his way onto this scroll. He came in search of the caveborn golden queen who lives here, however, upon arrival, he found she was already taken. The king, a lowly thunder, was had already been named the King of the scroll. He was angry, to have come such a long way to find that the queen had already been taken. He convinced the queen that she would be better off with a mate like him. A shiny, handsome gold, rather than just a thunder. He convinced her that she deserved more. And she listened. Soon, his rival was kicked from the throne and he was named the new King. Occasionally, he feels a little guilty for what he did, but the moment quickly passes. The way he understands it is simple. Survival of the fittest, and the throne is no exception. The fight for the throne decides the winner. And that winner was him.
