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.

Umbra, a powerful enchantress, was once a dutiful and honorable black dragoness, but when she first set eyes on Gravitas the Calamity her soul immediately became his. All that was righteous within her immediately became dark, twisted and lustful, all for her mate. She would gladly give her life, or any others' for that matter, simply to ensure that Gravitas got what he wanted. Umbra is known as the "Enchantress of the Black Sky", for those enchanted by her always realize it when they awake from her spell to see a pitch black sky, a reminder that their stars, their glory, has been stolen for the betterment of her one true love. Though Gravitas, in his madness, rarely cares for company, Umbra is never far from his side. She relishes any attention and praise from Gravitas which she can only get by getting closer to finding a legendary artifact, an old stone chest, with the capabilities to absorb spells of any magnitude. In a twisted way, she is happier than she has been in a long time.
