Black Marrows are named for their dark colored hides which are encased in a distinct exoskeleton. Their skull and the top edges of their spine push out from under the skin as they age. As such, their young need excessive amounts of calcium for this armor to develop. The older a Black Marrow dragon is, the more skeletal their appearance. They often use their skeletal looks to lure in foolish scavengers or terrify predators. These vicious dragons love nothing more than to crack open bones with their stony beaks and eat the marrow inside. Voracious scavengers, Black Marrows will swarm and devour corpses both old and fresh, sometimes even dragging larger finds to the water to allow them to “ripen.” Despite their dreadful demeanour and often horrid stench, Black Marrows are devoted mates and parents.

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.

Shadowed Memory was named because when she sleeps, she whispers things from her past, things she would rather forget. She had a hard childhood, being an orphan took a hard toll on her, especially since she had few friends, and still only has so few friends, her friends are Kia, Draco, and Xort. Most call her names, but those who respect her, or are her friend, call her Memory. Memory is often found at the edge of the group or close to Kia, her closest friend. She is so used to being alone, in fact, she prefers being either alone, or with her small group of friends, she hates being in the middle of large groups, in truth, she is slightly claustrophobic. She prefers to be out at night, the Black dragons don't mess with her as long as she doesn't mess with them, same with most of the Vampire Dragons. All she really wishes is to be understood and not thought to be something that she isn't.
