Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

Once filled with beauty and grace, the fair Eiliniel fell prey to a necromancer who brought her back from the grave to serve him in a petty vendetta against a rival sorcerer. What the crafty wizard failed to take into account was that looks can be deceiving and although the young dragon seemed docile, Eiliniel was actually an extremely stubborn individual and retained that trait even in her diminished form. In a bout of blind rage, she broke her controller's enchantment, killing him in the process. Now she spends her nights wandering aimlessly, striking terror in all who cross her path.
