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.

Freare is known for his childish and slightly intimidating personality. When Freare is with his family, he's generally playful and teasing. But when he is faced with a serious situation he can be one of the scariest dragons anyone could ever see. He's a ferocious defender and a ruthless soldier whose real power and energy don't show through until he's called to defend those he cares about, especially his children and his beautiful mate, Athelia.
