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.

Lurking in the shadows, Nghysgod is just that--a shadow. Unknown to most, she hears all things. She knows everything that goes on in every home of every kingdom. She knows the weakness of Queen Marw and the fault in Sapphire Moons. She knows the secrets of Gwaherddir and the love affair of Melltithio. And yet, she tells no one for she is a shadow and no one sees shadows in the daylight.
