Nebula Dragons are nocturnal creatures. With the best eyesight to be found, they are often seen staring into space. Each dragon tends to observe a particular nebula and will eventually change their colors and patterns to match it. As the nebula changes over time, the dragon changes with it. The more intricate the design of the nebula, the better chance an individual has of attracting a mate. It is said that the markings on no two Nebula Dragons will be exactly the same.

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.

Starrie Blacknight is the proud consort of Whisper Secrets, member of Empress Dark Grizzle's inner circle and fortune teller extraordinaire. Starrie Blacknight works very hard to make sure that none of the other dragons find out that Whisper Secrets is nothing more than a lazy con artist, because although he knows that all her tricks are a sham, as of yet, nobody else does. Starrie Blacknight is very friendly around town and always gets Whisper Secrets the latest scoop. In addition, if Whisper Secrets "predicts" something, Starrie Blacknight does everything in his power to make sure that it happens, even if it means paying the assassin's guild or asking a favor of Don Sunny Santiago. After all, Starrie Blacknight will do anything to be Whisper Secrets' knight in shining armor.
