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.

Fear Embodied, otherwise known as "Fear", fully embraces her name. She relishes in causing others to tremble in fright as her dark and glum wings descend from the sky. Fear developed an uncanny cruelty as a result of her mother's negligence and heartlessness.

Then she met her elder brother. She admired him. He was understanding, as no one else ever was. She fell obsessed-maybe in love-with him at first sight. As soon as Fear was able to fly adequately under her brother's tutelage, they hatched a scheme. They set up a trap involving cascading boulders and turbulent winds. The trap was not wholly successful and a mighty brawl ensued. However, a sunset dragon was no match for two black warriors, and she fell, her wings in shreds. As for Fear, she escaped with a long, ugly gash across her muzzle, but it was too triumphant a moment to count wounds.

Now without any opposition, these two black dragons are the stealthy assassins of the Land, holding no sympathy or kindness for any other.
