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 females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

Many in the clan avoid Alamayne, believing him to be just as shallow and self-centered as the rest of his breed. They fail to look beneath this vanity to the deeper dragon inside. The one who is always questioning the way things work, and forever wondering why things are what they are. No one would understand him because of his breeds' reputation, forcing him to use narcissism as a cover. But though he thinks differently from most Luminas and denies that he is like them, he still becomes entranced with the sheer beauty of his scales and will spend hours preening them to perfection.
