Black Tea Dragons have small scent glands on the underside of their wing arm that release a pleasant scent. Though many creatures enjoy being in the vicinity of Black Tea dragons, the scent is intended to draw in swarms of butterflies. Though Black Tea dragons are full sized dragons, these insects are the mainstay of their diet.

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.

Lily Teatime is the public face of the Temple of Shadow. She hires assassins, organizes jobs to be done, and arranges the prices to be paid. Often, because she is more about profit than death, she will allow hits to be canceled for the right amount of coin. As the only dragon to interact with the customers, Lily is sometimes targeted as an object of revenge. Luckily, she has enough tricks up her sleeve to stay protected and isn't all that worried about killing those who would have done the same to her. Many say that she rivals Empress Dark Grizzle in ruthlessness.
