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.

META1 is fond of peas. His favourites are snow peas, because he can eat the whole thing and shelling large enough quantities of peas for a draconic mouthful takes longer than he has patience for. He has a bit of acreage outside of Nworset where he grows peas, maize, and winter squash, but spends most of his time carefully selecting seed from and improving his pea plants, so the other veggies he grows are unimpressive. All his hard work has led to the development of his own variety of peas, which have become known as "META pods".
