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 would expect one of Dragontown's first black dragon residents to be a warrior or protector, but Kynsir chose a different path. She spends most of her days playing tour guide, which might seem to be a waste of her talents, but Kynsir believes otherwise. The ones she chooses to guide are the potential troublemakers—those who by virtue of breed or upbringing might find travel through Dragontown difficult. What she lacks in size (a hatchlinghood spent getting sick at the drop of a wing left her an undersized adult), Kynsir makes up for in determination (if not tact). She doesn't have the patience yet to be excellent at her job, but she's put in enough time to become quite good indeed. Other black dragons can boast of the enemies they defeated; Kynsir impresses her peers with stories of the time she spent an entire day guiding a plated colossus around Dragontown without any significant mishaps.
