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.

The reckless and sly Kharendia was always a thorn in the side of the flight's silver clan, constantly taunting the older dragons with her chaotic behavior and clear disregard for any sense of decorum. It should not, therefore, have been a surprise to anyone that she chose the mint dragon Vrix for a mate; however, given the silvers' usual contempt for the weaker breeds, it came as a complete shock to the others that Kharendia would even consider doing so. They therefore decided that she was slightly mad and left the matter at that, and if her name comes up in polite conversation someone will invariably cough and change the subject pointedly.
