Black Tea Dragons have small scent glands on the underside of their wing arm that release a pleasant scent. Though many creatures enjoy being in the vicinity of Black Tea dragons, the scent is intended to draw in swarms of butterflies. Though Black Tea dragons are full sized dragons, these insects are the mainstay of their diet.

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.

The shrill screams of unseen birds are often the first sign that one has come to the barrens. A land of dim light and dying vegetation, few beasts indeed wander that desolate valley, and those that do are elusive and unfriendly. Many take these signs as ill omens and turn away from the lonely waste, but those too foolish or stubborn to retreat blunder on, deeper and deeper into the growing fog. They may begin to regret their choice, later on--once all the noises have gone dead silent, and once the old remains of an abandoned village begin to loom up about them, quiet and waiting.

But by then it is too late.

For only one thing can live in that haunted land, a creature with pale red eyes and stunted black wings, a broad grin ever stretched across its lips. She finds the lost, well before they ever find her, and she never leads them back.
