Royal Blue dragons are a nocturnal breed who prefer to live high in the mountains near slow-moving water that reflects the night sky. Although quite capable of defending themselves, they are peaceful by nature and will avoid a fight whenever possible.

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.

Phases' moods seem to be inexplicably bound to the moon and her phases. When she is small, almost invisible in the sky, Phases is shy and docile and other dragons seem to overlook him frequently. But when the moon can be seen in all her glory, he gets boastful and proud and a bit full of himself.

Most dragons of the clan prefer to deal with him only during the two weeks in between.
