Royal Blue dragons are a nocturnal breed who prefer to live high in the mountains near slow-moving water that reflects the night sky. Although quite capable of defending themselves, they are peaceful by nature and will avoid a fight whenever possible.

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.

Nobuhiro is seen as a god and treated with reverence by his loving, obedient subjects. Every day, they form a crowd outside his cave to worship him. To go about his business, he must step over them as they huddle in their throng. Nobuhiro is so powerful and respected that he speaks for all of them, making them do what he wants and deciding where they'll go, but he doesn't do that too often because he's a loving god. Some outsiders don't believe Nobuhiro is that amazing, so he must demonstrate his powers by picking a devotee up with his magic or by speaking through them. When other dragons visit Nobuhiro, all they see is a fellow playing with an ever-growing hoard of rocks, his "loving, obedient subjects". Most people have given up trying to convince him that those rocks are not alive and that arranging them in a group doesn't mean they're worshiping him. Most people just humor Nobuhiro for a few minutes, deliver his medication, and leave.
