Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

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.

Reborn of an egg cradled against the breast of the earth, Song of the Legion remembers the rumble of stone grinding on stone and the low throb of growing things. The earth's grating serenade remained with him even as he died and was remade by a vampire's poison; even as he grew to undead adulthood and heard the siren call of the Legion and discovered that he had lost his own voice.

But the stones did not need voices to make their music, and the wind in the trees had no voice to create its haunting cry. The Song of the Legion became attentive to this in his despair, listening to the world around him--the animals, the wind, the earth and the trees--and learning its secrets. He tore the tips of his wings to tatters so the wind would sing through them as he flew. The rattling of his spines became percussion.

Like any army, the Legion would need a bard. The Song of the Legion has devoted himself to being their war-skald, immortalizing them with the eerie music of nature.
