Nebula Dragons are nocturnal creatures. With the best eyesight to be found, they are often seen staring into space. Each dragon tends to observe a particular nebula and will eventually change their colors and patterns to match it. As the nebula changes over time, the dragon changes with it. The more intricate the design of the nebula, the better chance an individual has of attracting a mate. It is said that the markings on no two Nebula Dragons will be exactly the same.

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.

Flaming Ember Stars, shortly Emberstar, is one of the most respected dragons between the Protectors. Either because she is the daughter of the high-ranked Blizzard's Breather, or because of how close friends she's with the leader. Flaming listens to her thoughts and plans, which has made Emberstar extremely thoughtful and clever.

Between the youngsters, Emberstar is very popular when it comes to playing hide 'n' seek. Most hatchlings, if not all of them, will play when Emberstar is not busy, and then is the time for other dragons to take a nap, since the youngsters become silent. Other dragons in the Hideout are thankful to her, for only Emberstar can silence the usually loud hatchlings in a very fun way. And they only stop playing when the young ones are tired. Then they sleep until the morning, allowing Emberstar to rest from all the fun.

Most of the time, when she's not busy, Emberstar can be seen at the top of the mountain staring at the sky. Usually it happens at night, though.
