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.

Fionnuala is a vain creature who spends her days at the shores of a silver, mountain lake looking at her reflection. She rarely leaves and was tended to night and day by her mate. One day however, he became fed up with her ignorant vanity and left. Only then did she realize what she lost and stricken by grief, tried to drown herself in the very lake she sat by every day. But instead of drowning, the magic in the silver waters transformed her into a swan. Now Fionnuala, unable to leave the lake, will be alone forever; her only company being her reflection on its glassy surface.
