Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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 vast desert sky on a clear, starry night

devoid of all that is corrupt

cleansed of all that is impure

leaving only the brilliance of stars:

little jewels dancing with the moon.

Reflections of a silver goddess,

bestowed upon the nocturnal form

of a secret admirer,

as he gazes upon the celestial wonder

that bathes the desert

in its benevolent, peaceful glow.
