This breed of dragon results from eggs or hatchlings that have been neglected. They are usually rebellious, not obeying their masters, sometimes even attacking them. However, their neglect as a hatchling leaves them crippled, and they are weak compared to other breeds, causing them to stay with their masters for protection.

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.

No one knows where this dragon came from, or why, but now that he's here they'd much rather he leave. But his position in their world is quite fixed, the creature possessing a brilliant mind to make up for his crippled body, spinning a web of poisoned lies in which the docile king of their country is a helpless prisoner. Serving as high councillor of that land, his power grows as the king's slowly wanes, bringing him ever closer to his one very simple goal: the end of all things. For while the country over which he plans to rule is not in itself that powerful, it is home to secrets about some very old, very much forbidden forms of magic, magic strong enough to shroud all the world in darkness... and ensure all life shares the misery of his.
