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.

The great Lord Chicago is crooked and corrupt, terrible qualities one would want for a leader. However, now that the worst is out of the way, Chi is the leader for a group of Dark Luminas that have odd names and prefer fresh water to salt water. His ambition is infectious, and a grin permanently on his snout (quite frightening to a human!). Despite recently falling ill, his strength, optimism, and pride is unmatched by any other dragon. Don't get scared by his corruption; he's still a great leader and takes a hands-on, if competitive, approach.

Some humans have taken to living around this dragon, paying gold every year in exchange for protection as well as a front-row view to all the towers he builds out of shiny glass. So far, the partnership is working out, though Chi has had to focus more energy on his illness instead of actual protection.
