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.

The Morning Joy is exactly what her name describes, a Joy in the Morning. When she hatched, her mother, an Ember, had been greeted with a cute baby dragon that had snuggled lovingly up to her before bouncing off to go see 'what that weird two-legged tan thing was' and say hello. She has matured, but still happily greets dragons that wake up in the morning and welcome back dragons that go flying out at night.
