Nebula Dragons are nocturnal creatures. With the best eyesight to be found, they are often seen staring into space. Each dragon tends to observe a particular nebula and will eventually change their colors and patterns to match it. As the nebula changes over time, the dragon changes with it. The more intricate the design of the nebula, the better chance an individual has of attracting a mate. It is said that the markings on no two Nebula Dragons will be exactly the same.

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.

The Moonwing leads the Nebula dragons of lchai caves with his mate, the Nightwing. Together they were the original sires of the Moonwings- a line of purebred Nebula dragons with a dazzling lineage that spans more than sixteen generations. Controversy has been generated among the other dragons of the caves, who say that this genealogy project has resulted in the casting out of any Nebula dragon that does not conform to this lineage. The Moonwing, who had no intention to create such a divided family of dragons, secretly agrees to this. However, he holds his tongue with a heavy heart as he watches the Nebula dragons further divide themselves, instead of cooperating together like a proper family, afraid to start another blood feud between its members.
