Luminox Wyverns are a spritely breed, though their sharp beaks and talons may suggest otherwise. As the fall months approach, they begin to collect and store heat from fire mana, and as the temperatures drop off, they release it through localized spots on their bodies. This enchanted heat creates a bubble of warmth around the dragon, not dissimilar to sitting by a fire, and it causes parts of their hides to glow a striking orange. They are very popular with children, who are enraptured by their bright wingtips, glowing markings, and magical warmth. As a result, they frequently join in on human festivities, much to the humans’ delight.

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.

Compared to his father, Soot is very timid and avoidant. While his father, Campfire, loves helping other dragons in need, Soot can barely muster the confidence to speak to another dragon. He often feels pressured by Campfire to be like him, so tends to stick more closely to his mother, Clock. He and Clock act more like best friends than anything, with Clock showing off her Time magic to impress and entertain him. This does lead to more turmoil in her and Campfire's marriage, but both are well aware how badly arguments affect Soot. With Clock, Soot is incredibly friendly and sweet. Though lacking bravery, Soot is a very curious dragon who loves learning new things. He is fascinated by magic. He dreams of being a powerful magic user and wield his power the way he wants, not the way Campfire does. Of course, he isn't totally sure what that way will be yet, but he knows he'll figure it out. Despite his lack of confidence, Soot is the type of dragon who won't give up on his goals.
