Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

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.

There's dead, there's undead, and then there is dead undead. Tejuvara Gravesand will never know why the dragon keeper betrayed and killed her Sire one October night—she only knows that it did happen. The experience has left Tejuvara bitter and distrustful. She is hesitant to draw attention to herself, and prefers to stay in the shadows, mingling little. As the oldest remaining vampire of her bloodline, Tejuvara did assume position of leader to her vampire Clan, her only intent being to try and keep the rest of her Clan out of harm's way.
