Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

Black Angel is part of a small, tight-knit group of Nhiostrifes living in a remote desert valley hidden up in the mountains. This remote vale is a place of strange occurrences and even stranger dragons and they have little to no contact to the outside world. It's suspiciously similar to another community in a far-off dragon clan.

Black Angel, who prefers to go by Erika for some reason, believes that he is a Soulpeace. Any dragon can look at Erika and tell him that he is most definitely a Nhiostrife—or at least they would bother to if they took him seriously. He is exceptionally tall and radiant, spending most of his time gossiping, writing poetry, and rolling heavy balls at upright pins to knock them over. Despite his apparent kindness, Secret Police dislikes him greatly and tries to insist that no one should recognize his existence because Erika only tells lies anyway.
