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.

Born in a family where only Shimmerscale offspring were of any worth, this male spent his childhood miserable and alone, always struggling to understand why he was loved less than his siblings. Surely he was just as beautiful as them, every one of his scales shined to perfection, every inch of his physique perfect. Surely, then, his failure came in a different area than looks; but whether he was too meek or too stupid or something else he never could figure out. Expelled from the nest shortly after he reached adolescence, he now wanders the world on his own, and can't help but feel a pang of hatred towards every Shimmerscale he comes across.
