Spirit Ward Dragons are a special breed that ward off evil spirits—at least, that’s what the legends say. During nighttime festivals, people love to see these dragons, because they believe that the dragons guard against evil spirits. The dragons are dark-colored, but glow with a flame-colored internal light that has an intensity that they control.

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.

Daybreak Nightlight is the twenty-seventh eldest of Clematis Cave. She prefers to be called Nightlight, rather than her full name.

Nightlight is a rather kind, light-spirited dragon. Her presence is comforting to others as it is believed that dragons of her kind ward evil spirits away. Not much, if any, other creatures hate her or even dislike her as magic creatures who are said to have raging tempers will either avoid her or be soothed into a less aggressive attitude.

She is nocturnal, doing almost everything at night. She will roam the forest, not just hunting, but keeping a keen eye for travelers hurrying to get to a safe area. She will not directly interact with the traveler, but will stay nearby and dispel danger with her glow.
