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.

Vigo Blacknight is enraged at his father! In exchange for one of Sunny Santiago's favors, Starrie Blacknight traded the service of his son, Vigo, to the vicious mobster. Now, Vigo has to work everyday as Sunny's personal attendant. Because Vigo's family is close with the Empress Dark Grizzle, he also is in charge of brokering all the unofficial deals that go on between the royal dragon and dirty Don. Vigo doesn't want to help perpetuate the cycle of violence that follows Sunny wherever he goes, but he also can't let his family down because it could mean their deaths. The first time Sunny drops his guard, Vigo is going to offer himself up to the new police officers as an informant. Maybe the new laws will take Sunny down and get Vigo out of this mess.
