Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

Haoeo, his full name Haoeolocteriussaraphaeshamirazema-Alit, had Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, thanks to his tyrannous, long-named parents. He was less mean in manners and different in scale colors comparing to both of his parents, which made lots of people wonder if he was truly their son. Being unable to bear his parent's mean and terrifying demand of spelling out long names anymore, Haoeo shortened his name, ran away from home, and started his adventure alone. The threads of fate lead him to the pleasant company of a nomad clan, where the clan-mates all had long names and enjoyed the game of which one person writes his or her name on another's back, and let their mate try to spell it out.
