Royal Blue dragons are a nocturnal breed who prefer to live high in the mountains near slow-moving water that reflects the night sky. Although quite capable of defending themselves, they are peaceful by nature and will avoid a fight whenever possible.

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.

Dylan is probably the most variable member of the Moonsilver Artists' Association. Every time the other dragons think they have figured him and his music out, he changes styles completely. Some are offended by this and see it as inconsistency or treachery and only ever refer to one of his creative periods as the "real" Dylan. But the members of the MAA and other open-minded dragons are rewarded with a new and terrific experience every couple of decades.
