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.

Make The Whole World Shiny is, indeed, trying to make the whole world shiny. But how he does it is truly interesting indeed. For each day, he and his fellow lumina disciples will take some of their incessantly preened, perfectly shiny scales and ground them up into a powder that Make The Whole World Shiny mixes with a fluid he won't disclose to anyone but his most trusted disciples. This fluid magically expands into a gigantic amount, which they empty out into a large lake next to their cave. Then they take bucketfuls of it and fly over the land, coating it with shiny lumina paint. They have managed to cover a large area with it, though they never get more than a few miles out because each time it rains, the liquid washes away, ruining an entire month's work.
