Nocturne Dragons are a strange breed. Whenever light strikes their bodies, they are frozen in whatever position they were in. This leaves them vulnerable and they rely on camouflage to keep themselves safe. They are often mistaken for statues when in this frozen state, but Nocturne dragons do not actually turn into stone. Rather, they merely idle until the sun goes down. At night, these dragons come to life, proving themselves to be powerful fliers, although little else is known about their true behavior.

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.

She watches a statue in the moonlight, wondering what it would be like to be a real piece of stone. She knows that the others of her kind enjoy their time unfrozen to the fullest extent, zooming around the skies and stretching, moving as much as possible, but she is different. She prefers her unmoving state, and spends it absorbed in her thoughts. She thinks about actual statues, their creators, and their creation during her time out of stone. She wishes she could be a sculpture, made by loving hands. She sighs and poses, waiting for the sun to rise. What position will she choose this time Will she be a Thinker, a David, a Discus Thrower, a Lady Justice She sighs again, this time as she thinks dreamily of the sun coming to encase her in stillness.
