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.

Corvus Noir Inks, or Corvy for short, is a young Black dragon. He lives with his best friend, Kat, in a part of their cave where the paper and ink is stored. However, he draws strange pictures instead of writing messages like Kat. He is fixated on a small device that Clockwork found at the top of the clock tower in Drakeville, which he calls "the source". He spends some of his time drawing it, and tells Izar to go "back to the source". However, he is usually found drawing an array of disturbing, violent pictures, oftentimes a forest with many dead trees and glowing red eyes among them. Most of his clan thinks he's insane, but Izar thinks he's trying to warn them of something. When he's not drawing, he's usually warning the clan about "the observer", and will draw pictures of a very tall, faceless, thin man in a suit, or a hideous beast he calls "the Rake", which he said clawed his foreleg. He thinks of Ashen Waste as a little sister, and frequently warns her of "the Observer".
