Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

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.

Being bitten by the Dorkace prophet comes with many perks but also many disadvantages. Though he is greatly respected in the cult, Past Speaker is forced to record any and all prophecies and events concerning the cult and the dragons it worships. He's also charged with keeping the cult archives in working order, and for acquiring new information. He does this in many ways, from stealing scrolls from libraries to giving a small piece of his hoard to history collectors so he can obtain new artifacts.
