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.

Ridiculous Duke Black was the second Ridiculous dragon in Ahavah, coming right on the heels of the Queen herself. He once had aspirations of being king, but it didn't work out. He holds his duchy by the grace of timing and age alone, and it irks him that his children were traded off for political gain. It doesn't really irk him because he loved his kids, but because there's great honor in having one mated into the royal family or taken into the guard. It doesn't help matters that his mate is a frigid thing, but the Duke does the best he can with the lot he was given. He has no exceptional skill, so he just rests on his laurels and does his best to hold onto his position.
