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.

Siren's Melody was born under a curse. When someone sets eyes on him they are instantly revolted and frozen in fear. He is neither ugly nor scary but no one can seem to stop from acting this way about him. A dragon with the proper training and magic could fix his condition, but he refuses to let anyone with even a touch of magic near him. He is scared that if someone could set such a curse on him, that all magic workers must be untrustworthy and would only try to make his curse worse. He does have magic himself, but he refuses to use it. He thinks it is a corrupting influence and prefers brute strength. Siren's Song is forced to live in the forest away from the other eyes of the dragons because of his curse. He steadily grows more bitter and angry as the years roll on and evil desires are slowly starting to consume him. Whether this is an after affect of his curse, caused by his exile, or just because of his nature, no one is quite sure.
