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 Black Lady O the Lake is a skilled magician, though such a hermit that few besides Their Majesties know who she really is. She somehow became a dear friend of the Queen, though no one knows how, and was given the territory of Lake Diana and its surrounding valley. Lady O lives in the lake itself, and everyone assumes she has the magical power to breathe in the water. In reality, there is a hidden cave where the lake drops off—more than one, not that anyone knows it—and she has very comfortable apartments under the very land itself.

Lady O is cunning in a ruthless way, though she does things more out of fun than out of malice. She'll strike bargains with even humans if the whim strikes her, and she's rumored to have been the mastermind behind at least a dozen mortal dictators. Young bucks often seek her lair as daring adventure, and most come away missing days worth of memories and feeling awfully, awfully sore...Not that they ever admit to or speak of it.
