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.

Fluky is picky and surly and wants things done quickly and correctly, and he loudly talks about others' incompetence if something isn't perfect. He's often said to lack self-awareness and tact and is too mired in little things to get much done himself. The chief is rumored to keep Fluky on his staff only because he's devising secret plans that are going to be controversial among the community once revealed, and he wants to keep an obvious "fall guy" to blame things on.
