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.

Notturno Mozart is descended from Amadeus Mozart, for when he died instead of remaining as a corpse in the ground, unloved, he became one of the most beloved Nocturne dragons--and close friend of Nocking Chopin. Mozart was his great-great-great-grandfather, and Notturno is now Nocking Cholan's most trusted advisor. He has an adopted son named Nottatio, who he says is a complete orphan, but really has a much more complex reason to adopt him then he says. See Nottatio's description for answers.
