Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Wilderstar's parents escaped their human captors five years ago under cover of night, sailing across the dark night skies, following the twin moons to their freedom. Elated by their freedom, they unwarily flew into the territory of a Desipis Dragon. The Desipis attacked, driving away Wilderstar's parents and, in the red haze of their fight for their lives, dropped Wilderstar's egg to the woods far below.

Wilderstar's parents run free in the wild to this day, while Wilderstar remains happy in the home of Rogue and her dragons.
