Lunar Heralds are deeply attuned to the two moons of Valkemare, Aurax and Cirion. Strictly nocturnal, they draw energy from moonlight and will only hunt when the moons have waned. When breeding, the amount of moonlight the parents receive from each moon will determine the color of the egg produced. When a Lunar Herald is struck by direct moonlight, an illusion of multiple wings may appear. Witnessing a Lunar Herald’s illusory wings is commonly believed to be a sign of good fortune.

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.

Aura is a brooding Herald. Only appearing in the dead of night, he sits atop high cliffsides, lost in thought. It's easy to see why so many cite him as pretentious. Aura talks and acts like he knows everything about the world and magic. To be fair, his skill in magic is substantial, but that doesn't make his attitude any less irritating. This can easily be coupled with his love of drama, music, and dance. Occasionally, he can be spotted prancing under the moon, singing some dramatic soliloquy. His parents love him, bless their souls, though his father has a very difficult time understanding him. Aura tends to ignore them altogether, along with the rest of the family, insisting he is a loner without anyone to turn to. Though pompous and over-dramatic and kind of a jerk, Aura is not altogether a bad dragon. He's odd and pretentious and loves seeking attention, but, when approached delicately, one can see the folds of a genuinely kind soul. It's just that kind soul can be really annoying.
