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.

Stonelight has one heir, named Firstdark who is her only heir and they don't yet qualify as a clan but wish to become one. Firstdark's father is a Black dragon called Nightclaw and is a trusted friend of Stonelight. Stonelight is a Moonpool and the human of this territory took her from another cave as an egg. She doesn't hate sunlight but doesn't like it either, having learned it isn't avoidable unless she goes to an area that is pitch black.
