White Dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can’t bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

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.

Lisandre is the oldest of the Flight of Runaways, and as such tends to take a paternal role among them.

All of the runaways were raised in breeding corrals, where hopeful humans sought to produce a "superior strain" of dragon by mating and culling a selected stock, but only Lisandre witnessed the deaths of the thousands of stolen hatchlings that were deemed "unfit". His peaceful nature cried out against this, and in desperation he and a few of the other young dragons rose up to destroy the facility and escape into the wilderness.

Although Lisandre's group was successful, many of the eggs and young hatchlings in the breeding corrals were killed or lost during the escape, and Lisandre has never ceased to feel sorrow for his inability to protect them. He keeps one watchful eye on the dragons in his flight, and the other on the far horizon, waiting for the lostlings to come home.
