Black Tea Dragons have small scent glands on the underside of their wing arm that release a pleasant scent. Though many creatures enjoy being in the vicinity of Black Tea dragons, the scent is intended to draw in swarms of butterflies. Though Black Tea dragons are full sized dragons, these insects are the mainstay of their diet.

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.

As a hatchling, Chamomile and her father travelled often. Her father had the job of negotiating trades between wealthy dragons, as well as transporting the valuables with the help of a team of Turpentine dragons. She and her father had a strong bond, but the many nights on the road were rough on the young dragoness. She found solace in drawing and painting the landscapes that they saw on their journeys, using whatever natural materials she could find in the area. One night as Chamomile, her father, and the Turpentines were resting in the woods, a fire broke out and nearly killed the entire expedition. Chamomile and Terebinth, the only surviving Turpentine, rushed her severely wounded father to the healers of a nearby clan. He died a few days later, and the heartbroken Black Tea decided to settle down in the clan, which warmly welcomed her. Today she and Terebinth live a quiet life together, and she still recreates those landscapes in brilliant detail along the walls of their cave.
