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.

Virulent Madness arrived in Verdant dazed and hungry.  The community was aware of his arrival and chased him toward the shoreline until some aggressive Wyverns started clamoring and confusing the pursuit.  He managed to grab an egg from the Wyvern camp, and found his way to nearby caverns on the coast, where he hid and bit the egg.  It rolled off into the darkness as he slept.

When he awoke, he heard humming.  Looking out, he saw another Vamp, and she was beautiful.  He approached and she growled, turned and vanished.  His cold heart filled with desire, he listened in the shadows and heard tales of the Image Of Darkness.  Long known in Verdant, she apparently never attacked the community, but lived alone in the same cave system where he was sheltering.

He continues to follow her, but she will have nothing of him, not even a simple word.  His desire for her is rival to his blood lust, and the madness of his dark heritage consumes him.
