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.

A danger of the night, those who find themselves stalked by Kain the Relentless experience true fear. Once Kain has his sights on prey, he will stop at nothing to catch it, pursuing his quarry tirelessly. There is only one possible escape from Kain, and that is to evade him until the sun rises and he is forced to retire from the hunt. But the night is long, and Kain is a skilled predator, almost always catching his prey. The Ruda Clan is lucky to have such an ally on their side. Merely thinking about what it would be like to be Kain's enemy is enough to make even the bravest warrior hide once the sun goes down.
