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.

Vorelkorth Nightstar or Vorel for short is a mystery to most of the dragons in the cave. She rarely says anything when she comes around after spending the day idle in her "stone form". She flies out every night to patrol the area around the cave sometimes in company with the black dragon Vythalax Shadowing who seems to be the only one that understands her. Vorel often places herself near the hatchery before sunrise where she will stand as a silent guardian for the day until the sun sets once again. She sometimes brings deers, rabbits, fruits and berries for the hatchlings when she returns from her nightly patrol. The hatchlings sees her as their guardian ever since she saved them from a rampaging zombie dragon that had wandered into the nursery one night. She proudly bears the scars from the fight today.
