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.

Xekri Nalci's name means "black wing". She chose her name after her son Vinyl Rockstar joined the SCA. While she doesn't want to believe that space chickens exist, she is willing to call herself a member of Kensa Jipci's Space Chicken Alliance in support of her son, his mate and their chicks.
