Black Marrows are named for their dark colored hides which are encased in a distinct exoskeleton. Their skull and the top edges of their spine push out from under the skin as they age. As such, their young need excessive amounts of calcium for this armor to develop. The older a Black Marrow dragon is, the more skeletal their appearance. They often use their skeletal looks to lure in foolish scavengers or terrify predators. These vicious dragons love nothing more than to crack open bones with their stony beaks and eat the marrow inside. Voracious scavengers, Black Marrows will swarm and devour corpses both old and fresh, sometimes even dragging larger finds to the water to allow them to “ripen.” Despite their dreadful demeanour and often horrid stench, Black Marrows are devoted mates and parents.

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.

Some may wonder why Nomeriae is—of all things—a greengrocer by trade. But she has a rather straightforward answer: ever since the Singer of Souls conjured a soul into her body, she has had an uncontrollable habit of chewing on things. If she had a more reasonable profession—say, a butcher—she would gnaw her way through so much of her own stock that she would be unable to make a living. That is why she works somewhere where there is nothing she actually wants to eat. Granted, it is not uncommon to see her with a bunch of celery or a piece of firewood in her mouth. She rarely gnaws her way through more than one cord of firewood a day, though, so it's not a problem.

Since she is aware of the sensitive noses of most dragons, Nomeriae makes a point to keep herself clean and relatively odor-free. Other marrows don't respect her because of it, however. She likes to visit MyKBS's restaurant to eat "krispy barf-inducing spoilage".
