Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

It wasn't enough to simply be beautiful. Ravanna had to be the fairest dragon in the kingdom. But as she aged her beauty left her, so with the help of her Magi brother she stole the youth of hatchlings to extend her nearly immortal life and stay beautiful forever. She became feared throughout the kingdom for her beauty and cruelty, and generally hated by all. Some believed she could kill with a single glance or stop one's heart with a single touch, and no one dared to face her. There were those dragonesses who purposely scarred themselves so that their beauty would be too marred for Ravanna to take. But one hatchling who she spared to calm her people became her undoing, forcing her into exile. She now whiles away time deep in the swamp where no one will find her or even worse--- see the hideous troll she has become, as she plans her revenge.
