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.

Whisper Secrets is the laziest dragon in the group. She adores just looking at the night sky and mulling over the stars, but a dragon's got to eat. She services Wayside Haven by pretending to be psychic and telling everyone's fortunes in exchange for a hot meal. Skeptical, but a little curious too, Dark Grizzle demanded that her fortune be told. Whisper Secrets treated her like any other customer and told her what she wanted to hear. She always made it convincing of course, throwing in some detail she wasn't suppose to know about the empress (which she learned through gossip, not magic) and then displaying an impressive star pattern on her wings while talking in her special mysterious voice for effect. Dark Grizzle's lust for power blinded her normally clever self to Whisper Secrets' deception. Now Whisper Secrets sits on a chair in the inner council; although she no longer has to worry about food, she does have to work much too hard keeping up appearances when she could be lazing.
