Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

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.

The shadows are Lady Bane's world. A colorless world of shades of gray and black. From the shadows she watches normal dragon life that she cannot understand. Emotions like love, joy, even hate are beyond her understanding. Maybe when one's heart stills in one's chest and grows cold all that dies inside. She watches children at play. She tries a smile on her face and shrugs. It doesn't seem to fit, doesn't feel right. No, all of that is beyond her understanding. She moves deeper into the shadows.
