Nocturne Dragons are a strange breed. Whenever light strikes their bodies, they are frozen in whatever position they were in. This leaves them vulnerable and they rely on camouflage to keep themselves safe. They are often mistaken for statues when in this frozen state, but Nocturne dragons do not actually turn into stone. Rather, they merely idle until the sun goes down. At night, these dragons come to life, proving themselves to be powerful fliers, although little else is known about their true behavior.

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.

Lumis has a fascination

With the fundamental points of light

And studies what makes solar radiation

Freeze him, when no other forms incite

The nocturne breed's suspended animation.

He studies this, and ponders, day and night

What factors cause this prominent cessation:

Those very rays, bounced from a moon, lack might

To cause the classic nocturne statuation.

With pharos mana, he sets out to fight

Against his paralytic inclination.

Some experiments are cause for fright

But he maintains a hopeful expectation.

He searches magic for a new insight

In hopes that he could change his situation.
