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.

Skytender is part of an ancient order of dragons tasked with protecting the planets from radiation surges. Ever scanning the skies for abnormal astronomical phenomenon, they alert all in their order with psychic cries when danger arises. Then Skytender, like all others in the order, flies with wings outstretched to absorb the radiation, preventing damage to the world below.

Each surge of radiation absorbed helps the dragons to grow a little bit more. Skytender is of moderate size but hopes to grow as large as the leader of the order someday, able to shadow entire mountain valleys at once.
