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.

Grandchild of the famous Cayvyn and son of a lumina, it is little wonder that Vex is exceedingly vain. Living a life which even kings could envy, he resides in a gilded castle and is attended by hundreds of servants, who cater to every need he has or might have. While a fair amount of this luxury was passed to him by his parents, even more of it comes from his own cunning; often resorting to illicit means to ensure all goes his way, he's both feared and hated by his many opponents.
