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.

No Light is vain even by Lumina standards. Obsessed with his appearance, he will not allow others to get near or touch him, for fear they will damage his beautiful scales. Having his divine visage damaged is his greatest fear, and he even went so far as to alienate himself from his fellow Luminas, finding a far off cave he considered safe. He hid himself away, only coming out at night during the full moon to see the pale light glint off his reflective scales. It was one of these rare nights he met a Shadow Walker dragon named Paeniteo, and allowed her near because her ghostly form could not damage him.
