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.

It's not very often nowadays that dragons born from unknown clans are admitted into Elders. The Six aren't sure who they can trust anymore, with blood spilling every other night. When the young hen Thessica discovered Ebony's abandoned egg, nothing could stop her from taking him in.

Ebony Doubloon is a curious edition to the clans. He's like a child in his mannerisms. He really doesn't understand the complexity of the world he was born into and sees everything in black and white.

At first, Thessica's mate Tesky, master of the gray area, was very stand-offish, but it's hard not like Ebony. Even his look is disarming. Ebony is much smaller than most adult black dragons and his eyes nearly double the average size.

Born with three of his scales a brilliant gold, a remnant his metallic ancestor, Ebony has a deep love for all things shiny. Despite being a black dragon, he's not too terribly much of a fighter, unless told the opponent has something shimmery.
