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.

One of two of Alese and Lausbub's children to remain with the clan, Leyna has always had a strong sense of family. Truly, that is all she's about: providing for her fellow Lukile dragons, be it with food or emotional support. In fact, it is whispered by the clan that her dedication to the well being of others has caused her to swear off having anymore children. Her unnanounced mate Sprague, however, knows this isn't true. The thought to have another egg simply doesn't occur to her that often.
