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.

Alecthraeus Shadowtheft is nearly a great wyrm and is very strong indeed. The battlefield is were he spends the lot of his day, fighting alongside humans and dragons alike when wars are declared, leaving his mate for centuries at a time. Luckily, wars are seldom declared allowing him to spend time with his mate. Although, she is a sunset dragon who is most active at the sunset and at night. Juring the day, when his mate is sleeping, he will hunt for deer, moose or bear, using the bones to carve a sturdy reliable armor to cover his body. However, it is mostly for show since it requires magical lances or swords to pierce a dragons skin. He eats diamonds and precious metals to give his scales extra strength as well. The fire he spits turns green on account of the fact that when he eats copper, sharps of it sometimes stick to his teeth and when it burns it turns green. His alliance is with the warriors who fight for good and the name of his rider is Stlactel.
