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.

Lumi'aril spreads his wings and sighs at their beauty. Each scale is like a pearl, carefully cultivated until everything is impossibly perfect.

There. That scratch. Where did it come from! Hurriedly, he picks it off. There is no room for imperfection on his body.

The other dragons laugh at him for being narcissistic, but they will never understand. He is utterly alone—even his children don't understand, and they are Lumina Dragons as well. He has to live up to his ancestry, the epitome of perfection.
