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.

A fierce hunter, a loyal warrior, and a fearsome enemy, Nyte Shadow is respected among all who know him. Being a nocturne dragon, he is active only at night, and rests in shadows all day, making him vulnerable to attack. Because of this, he has befriended Zenithia, a sunset dragon, who hides in the morning and midday shadows with Nyte and protects him in the evening; in return, Nyte protects her in the midnight and early morning hours. They have formed a strong friendship and have become a pair of formidable warriors who no dragon would dare cross alone.
