Black Marrows are named for their dark colored hides which are encased in a distinct exoskeleton. Their skull and the top edges of their spine push out from under the skin as they age. As such, their young need excessive amounts of calcium for this armor to develop. The older a Black Marrow dragon is, the more skeletal their appearance. They often use their skeletal looks to lure in foolish scavengers or terrify predators. These vicious dragons love nothing more than to crack open bones with their stony beaks and eat the marrow inside. Voracious scavengers, Black Marrows will swarm and devour corpses both old and fresh, sometimes even dragging larger finds to the water to allow them to “ripen.” Despite their dreadful demeanour and often horrid stench, Black Marrows are devoted mates and parents.

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.

Unlike many of his brethren Tivo is not satisfied with just eating half-rotten cadavers and crunching their bones. There has to be more to eating than just satisfying the basic hunger. So Tivo started to research the strongest tasting herbs to prepare his meats in interesting ways.

Recently he developed an interest in the food preparation contests of the annual Harvest And Thanksgiving festival but it seems as if he will stand no chance against the long ruling master of herbs, Acolyth. Unless of course if he finds allies to bring the Thyme-Lord down.
