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.

Ban Kage meaning Night Shadow is a very secretive and quiet dragon who can easily disappear. She usually only appears in the background of things, watching others with her keen green eyes, and then as always vanishing. A wise and old dragon once described her as a Naito-Ryoku meaning Night Force, though the dragon describing her refused to going into detail about what the Naito-Ryoku was. Yoru never talks and almost never involves herself in others business, but seems particularly fond of Hiekka Tulipalo.
