Dark 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 males guard their territory and eggs while the females search for meat to eat. Dark Lumina Dragons are much meaner than their cousins.

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.

A dragon found only around the most beautifully reflective surfaces, Elmerei makes his home in the Gormest Valley, a tiny valley filled to the brim with almost perfectly reflective crystals. These crystals look like mirrors almost, due to their unique composition, and Elmerei loves watching himself jump around in the reflection of these mysterious stones. Any intruder to his sacred territory is ripped to pieces, even other Lumina Dragons, although he has been known to let certain ones by if they choose to mate with him.
