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.

Laurent'a decided early on that she would make the adoptive cave her permanent home thanks to the Guardian Dragon Kiliki and his unlikely partner in the task, the even tempered Hellfire Wyvern Rhiani. Under their watchful eyes, she knows that no harm will come to her when she is vulnerable during the day. She repays this kindness by hunting at night and bringing food back for the rest of the adopted hatchlings before dawn. She then finds a safe place in the front of the cave, out of the way of the others, and accepts her immobile condition until the sun sets and frees her once more.
