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.

Dark Tarkah, better known as Tarkah by his friends in the Barracuder Clan, is regarded as the natural leader. He is known to be swift moving but lacks in physical force. Tarkah, like all leaders, has a weakness, his being his species. Tarkah is frozen in sunlight, making him and his clan nocturnal. Many dragons such as the Canopy dislike his decision. Tarkah faces threats currently from a mere egg, a stone dragon egg. Tarkah knows this egg will hatch into a tough brute able to fight at day and night unlike him. Tarkah must befriend the stone dragon and bring it to support his leadership.
