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.

Dartley loves to move. As long as the night is rolling, Dartley never stops moving, and she often finds herself frozen in very strange positions when the sun stops her movement. She wishes desperately for a child, but only a few of the other dragons were able to fulfill her wish. She is unable to protect her egg during the day, and up until now, none of her mates have taken care of her child. Still, she remains kind, and she hopes that her child will have a good life without her. She fancies Picchuley, but she is too afraid that he will not like her to step up to him. She loves pie.
