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.

Chaniwa lives in a lair downhill from a beautiful mountain lake, with flowing waterfalls on either side of lair entrance; one waterfall flows north to south and the other flows east to west. Given such auspicious water flows, she created a gorgeous tea garden in front of her lair. She sculpted it with bonsai trees, elegant blossoms and carefully placed boulders between gently curving paths. The garden is artistically framed on two sides by the flowing water, to serene effect for visitors.

Chaniwa has won several awards for her garden and is very proud of it. Anyone who damages it is subject to her severest wrath; only those she trusts most may enter it unattended.
