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.

From an early age it was obvious Cethin was going to be someone special. Throughout his years as a Hatchling he would always remain calm and even tempered—taking charge of those around him even when intruders approached the Tikindi Caves. The transition to adulthood has, if anything, only added to his gravitas. He is proof that true leaders are born, not made. Quiet and relaxed most of the time he will share a friendly word and a joke with anyone, spending time to sit and listen to the elder dragons as well as time to play with the younger ones. But come a time of crisis—those times that knights, or some other dragons, try to raid their mountain home—then Cethin is at the fore, rallying the dragons together, building morale, and leading them on to win. His is the spirit that binds the Tikindi Cave together, and with him in the lead they can overcome any odds.
