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.

A beast of fine breeding and exquisite taste, Chocolat takes her breed's characteristic vanity and applies it to every aspect of her life. Her mate, her companions, her den--all these are fussed over and primped daily, made to look their absolute best to better compliment her own beauty. Yet among all these things, one item in particular receives more of her scrutiny than most. A connoisseur of chocolate, she hunts down the finest morsels of it like a hawk stalking prey, and turns up her nose at all those chocolates of "lesser" make (or so she claims--her friends swear they've spotted her madly gulping down even the most mundane of chocolates, all while looking bulge-eyed and frantic).
