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.

Black dragons are warriors—but not all warriors are in-your-face berserkers. Some like to stalk in silence, striking swiftly and when least expected. Some like to use their minds to win battles, as well as their fearsome teeth and claws. Shadowen is one such dragon. Haunting the crags in the mountains around the Tikindi Cave he wears the darkness like a second skin. He watches in silence, assessing those who approach his home. Those that come with good intentions will never know more than a vague feeling of being watched. Those that come with bad intentions... they will never know what hit them until it is too late.
