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.

Ridiculous Marchioness Black is lady-in-waiting to the Queen. She enjoys all the comforts of Court and none of the responsibility. She knows she'll have to settle down and start a brood one day, but for now she's happy attending the Queen and sneaking off for an occasional dalliance. She has no real skill to speak of, excepting her mastery of such games as Free-Fall-Chicken, Roast Pig Kabob, and Cantrip Trip-up. Canny wagering on the Court games has amassed her quite a pile of treasure.
