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.

Solustenra means "Sun Stone" in the Ancient Language. Ever since she was a small hatchling, Solustenra has loved and hated the sun. The sun is so lovely and warm, and it makes her feel warm inside. However, the sun prohibits her from moving even an inch. She's stuck; frozen in whatever position she was in when the sun struck her skin. She wishes that she'd been born a sunset dragon or a magma dragon. Then she could go into the sun without the fear of immobility.
