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.

Swiftling, though known by other dragons as a sweet and lovable mother, has been labeled an evil and dastardly beast amongst humans for swiping livestock and small children from their settlements late at night. Quite the formidable hunter, she takes to the skies to track down prey every night after sun down, taking down anything that moves with her powerful magic strikes and carrying them back to the cave for her and her son to feed on. Her hunting prowess is matched only by the elder magi dragon of the cave; The Apricot Lass.
