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.

This dragon is a true pioneer of his kind, a genius widely revered among his species and the leader of the greatest group of them yet known, a whole city of nocturnes. His achievement is simple: he was the one who first actively sought--and finally discovered--a place where his breed could live without fear of slaughter at the hands of those who believed them cursed, without the fear of turning to stone mid-flight and perishing at the touch of day. This place is a huge crevice in the ground, too deep for the sun or any other creature to penetrate, and here they have swarmed, creating a marvelous, beautiful city deep within the shifting crack of the earth.
