Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

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.

As she lay dying, a freezing spell cast by a desperate healer saved Ashildir's life, but trapped her permanently in her young form. At first she was happy she'd been given a second chance at life, but as centuries wore on she began to notice her clanmates aging and eventually dying around her as she remained young and strong.

Yet even as she grew more and more cynical about her condition, she became unable to desensitize herself. Her life is unusually long but her memory is normal sized, and she now keeps an entire room full of journals marking her days, lest she forget them. Some of the pages have been removed in attempt to ease some of the pain, but when the memories have faded, the pain is still there.

The years have stolen everything that made her the beautiful young soul the old grumpy healer saved so long ago. She has even lost her name, simply calling herself Me. Names are just reminders of the dragons who so easily slip away in the cruel hands of time.
