Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Queen Eirwyn is a dragon of the Pseudo-Royal Hall, a clan of superb wanna-bes. Sunburn comes easily to albino dragons, the sunblock-like oily sheen on their skin not sufficient to protect against damage for prolonged periods of time. Such is apparent when one views the perpetually pink skin of the Pseudo-Royal Eirwyn, an unfortunate side effect of the pale dragon's love of taking wing and soaring under the bright blue sky and the brilliant sun.
