Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

Dwelling deep in the halls of an old university is the kindly old Chornoctis, a professor who many say has been around longer than the institution itself. In his youth Chronoctis was a prominent member of his clan, revered for his intelligence and quick thinking. But as centuries stretched by, he began to long for a simpler, quieter life, so he retired to one of the quietest buildings in a dragon city that is kept alive by the university alone. He is regarded as an eccentricity by most everyone, and students and faculty alike laugh at the mad old Professor Chronoctis, whose life seems to revolve around the tea and the thousands of books that line the walls of his study. He doesn't mind, however, as their society is so different from the one he left all those years ago. There are times when he misses his birth clan, though the numerous books he brought back with him and an old friend of his who often pops by for tea never fail to make him feel like he never left.
