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.

Darkest Sorrow once had a different name. That changed one night under the blood moons, when a great silver wolf appeared. The wolf killed her first egg and fled. When she returned home, she discovered the smashed egg. She was already broken inside from being taken from her parents and sibling, and this finally pushed her to the limit, for she knew if she had been there, she could have slain the wolf before it destroyed her egg. She lost her old personality, and her telepathic voice changed from strong and powerful to frail and whispery. She had become a darkly sorrowful dragon, quiet, reserved, and prone to weeping softly. Every time the moons glow blood red, her eyes turn silver and she goes to the sites of her losses, keening mournfully.
