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.

Choosers is the kind of dragon that most everyone wants to be: smart, pretty, rich, and virtuous. She has her pick of the single males—at least, those who aren't virtuous enough to remain with their mates. Every year, she donates suspiciously large sums to those she deems to be in need of charity. Other dragons sometimes plead for her to tell them where she gets riches, claiming they want to be just like her. However, try as they might, she won't tell: beggars can't be Choosers.
