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.

Tillte is a rather skittish, but brave little dragon. He goes out of his way to make himself scarier than he looks, even if it just comes down to an intimidating stare. He is well thought and reserved, but easily startled by loud sounds and scares. One should not be fooled by his skittish tenancies however, as in battle, he is all tooth and claws, often sending his enemies fleeing for their lives.

Tillte lives with a human he calls his best friend. A traveler, going by the name of Estra, has had Tillte since when he was just a little hatchling. Tillte was abandoned by his parents into the winter cold, having been deemed as too small and weak to be of any worth caring for. Having taken in the small, peeping dragon with full care, Tillte soon grew to be a ferocious warrior.

Since then, they have been inseparable, going on great journeys together across the vast wilderness.
