Silver Dragon

Silver Dragons are the second most powerful of the Metallic family of dragons, a collection of dragons characterized by their metal-based scale coloration and their affinity for goodness, although the different species span the Lawful-Chaotic axis. The Silver Dragons are best described as the "Knights Errant" of the Metallic Dragon family, with a strong interest in actively crusading against the forces of evil. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, they are also deeply fascinated by humanoids, and often form close allegiance with humans and demihumans, or even walk amongst them in secret.
==Encounters==
Gorion's Ward encounters a Silver Dragon during when they venture into the Underdark during their misadventures in the region of Amn, as covered by Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and that portion of Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. Whilst exploring the Underdark, Gorion's Ward encounters Adalon, a female silver dragon who is simultaneously expecting a clutch of hatchlings and also devoted to warding drow excursions away from the surface. When Gorion's Ward encounters her, the drow have abducted her eggs and are holding them to ransom to force her into allowing them to launch an invasion of the surface, and she turns to the Bhaalspawn for assistance in reclaiming her children.
In Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal the player may encounter two more during the quest Dorn's Bloody Path in the realm of Lunia. They are labeled as "Silver Dragon" but in dialogue their names are Dolrassa and Ixthezzys. They may be negotiated with to avoid combat or killed for Silver Dragon Scales to take to Cespenar to make the extremely useful low-AC cold-resistant Silver Dragon Scale, though the armor cannot be worn by Good characters.
