Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

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.

Carver Inks is a young Black dragon. Unlike most of the other Black dragons in his clan, he is completely sane and has a job in Drakeville, where he works as a wood carver. He is very talented at this, and has practiced so much that he can now carve busts of the other dragons and people. His notoriety greatly increased after he carved a life-size model of The Almighty TJ09 and placed it in the Dragon Market. After a few days, many villagers took notice of his talents and began commissioning him for custom busts and statues. He always puts his work first and never turns down a paying customer, and therefore has spent many a sleepless night in his workshop, carving until the commissioned piece is finished.

Despite all the work he does and fame he receives, Carver still manages to stay cheerful, humble, and friendly. When he visits his clan on his days off work, he always makes sure to bring small wooden trinkets he carved for the hatchlings, much to their delight.
