Dark 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 males guard their territory and eggs while the females search for meat to eat. Dark Lumina Dragons are much meaner than their cousins.

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.

DarkGold lives on his own in a small cave a two days flight from the nearest village. He lives in an endless rain cloud because a few years back he attempted to murder a young Storm dragon named WisperingDusk, who was the leader of a small group of dragons at the time. He thought he killed her; however, she came back shortly after with a huge surprise: a large bucket of mud waiting to be dumped on him. Dark screamed in horror to see his scales covered in mud. When he wished for it to be washed off, Wisper put him in a raincloud that would never disappear. No dragon wanted to be around him afterwards, except for dragons that lived in water, who basically worshipped him until they found out why he was always followed by rain. He then moved into his small, dark shady cave, with his only friend a slug named peach pi.
