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.

Diaglyph and her mate, Famulus, have founded a secondary clan high up in the mountains. Her clan has an annual tradition of dancing in the winds to celebrate the Spring Equinox.

Diaglyph herself is proud of her looks, and how rare she is. She loves dancing in the winds, and turning heads with her moves. She isn't the most graceful though, and usually causes mid-air collisions when she dances in a group. So she usually conducts the air displays, instead of taking part herself. Since becoming the conductor, they haven't had any collisions for a few hundred years.
