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.

The second son of the King of Royal Valley, Prothagron was always cursed to be in the shadow of his elder brother, Vuthafoc. While Vuthafoc enjoyed public appearances and tournaments, Prothagron remained inside the royal castle, trying his best to maintain the kingdom. Gifted in math and strong of mind, this enormous task was merely a challenge to the Prince, yet he always resented the lack of attention and praise he was given. However, he tried his hardest to not to blame his family, instead blaming it on himself.

The biggest blow in Prothagron's life came when his wife, Iski, lost the egg she was caring for to sickness. Prothagron again blamed himself, being too preoccupied with the Kingdom to help out with the egg. He locked himself away to deal with his grief, his mournful cries echoing out from Night's Tower. Without him to care for the Valley's financial and political issues, the inhabitants of the Valley suffered years of hardship, until the birth of Vuthafoc's daughter, Xanir.
