Black Tea Dragons have small scent glands on the underside of their wing arm that release a pleasant scent. Though many creatures enjoy being in the vicinity of Black Tea dragons, the scent is intended to draw in swarms of butterflies. Though Black Tea dragons are full sized dragons, these insects are the mainstay of their diet.

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.

Ispumsolus was raised by humans in the desert.

Next to the small town in which she lived was a sacred pyramid filled with ancient artefacts. Many set out to claim these precious objects, so her town set Ispumsolus to guard the pyramid. She sat and fought off adventurers for years before discovering a dark truth about her past.

She had always wondered about her real parents, but it had never dawned on her that they could have been slaughtered. That was how the town had managed to obtain her egg: they had killed her parents.

That was the tipping point.

Ipsumsolus charged into the pyramid, shattering the artefacts and half-reviving the mummies within their tombs.

She fled before the townspeople discovered the damage done, flying across the vast desert plains and settling by an oasis where butterflies were plentiful and shade was fully available. She set up a new life there, far from the place in which she grew up and is now humble and fully content.
