Nebula Dragons are nocturnal creatures. With the best eyesight to be found, they are often seen staring into space. Each dragon tends to observe a particular nebula and will eventually change their colors and patterns to match it. As the nebula changes over time, the dragon changes with it. The more intricate the design of the nebula, the better chance an individual has of attracting a mate. It is said that the markings on no two Nebula Dragons will be exactly the same.

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.

Emauri was always a kindred spirit and was willing to help others, human or dragon, since she was a hatchling. However, in spite of all that she did, Emauri never considered her actions to be good enough, so she always strove for better. But one day, she witnessed something terrible: a young wizard standing on the edge of a cliff, preparing to jump. In a panic, Emauri dove for the wizard as he fell, gently swooping him up with her talons and saving his life. The young wizard then said to her, "O humble dragon, you have saved me from peril and brought a feeling of worth into my soul. How can I ever repay you"

  Emauri simply smiled and said "You need not repay me, for the joy of saving you is all I need."
