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.

Yes—Frederick Chopin the world famous pianist and musician has become a dragon. No-one knows how this happened, though basic pre-death reincarnation is suspected—and Frederick is very frustrated. He cannot play the piano any more, even if there were one in the cave, and there is none of his beautiful music to listen to. He weeps constantly over his loss, and makes huge damp patches on the cave floor. The only dragon to appreciate this is Monsieur Le Comte Roquefort, who needs to keep moist. However, Frederick does not welcome his company because of the smell of aged cheese, so this makes him weep even harder, creating a vicious circle. He will never be happy. But that is all part of being a Great Romantic, so it seems fitting.
