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.

This dragon was mistaken for a gold nugget. A greedy wizard had gone high into the mountains in search of fortune, but what he found was worth much more. He had come to a large cavern, and he saw two golden wyverns fiercely guarding something. He snuck up to them, to get a closer look. Before long, the wyverns had fallen asleep, and the wizard climbed over their tails to see what they were guarding. It was an egg, a solid gold egg. The wizard took his chance, seized the egg, and ran away from there as fast as possible. He placed it in his most secure cabinet, and went to bed. The wizard awoke to a crying sound. He traced it to his cabinet, and looked inside. To his shock, a hatchling was now sitting where the golden egg had once been. Try as he might, the hatchling would not leave his side. The wizard decided in the end to keep it, and he named it after his favourite number.
