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.

Graowl is a hardened war dragon with a nasty disposition. His scowl is accentuated by the scar that winds across his entire face, marring his already ghoulish features. Many young hatchlings have wondered at what caused this horrific scar, and they often have contests, making up horrible, gruesome stories about the origin of it. Graowl, though taciturn and unsociable, likes the publicity the ugly mark gives him. Consequently he keeps his mouth shut about the true story of him not getting to his cave before sunup one morning as he was flying above a farm that liked to keep its pitchforks in soft-looking haystacks.
