Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

When Mainline flies high in the sky and looks down at the ground, she can sometimes see pairs of parallel lines stretching across the landscape, and the sight is often accompanied by rhythmic chuffing and a faint smell of smoke. When she descends to investigate, those things are no longer there, and the land has grown rugged. She doesn't know what's going on in her head, and on the days nothing else of interest occurred during excursions, when she returns home, she just places the resources she collected in the sharingcave and remains quiet about what she thought she saw. The last time someone came back reporting visions, he was frenetic in his actions and frantic in speech, and a day later, he found GoN and is now the head of a new sect, heading a church in the Khayhom Lowlands. Mainline visits her cousin once a year, and she can tell he's very happy, but she doesn't want to be a religious figure and doesn't believe her own hallucinations are divine messages from the Venerable Lord.
