Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

Once a proud black dragon, Shadow Emperor was killed on the night of Halloween.

His owner attempted to revive his poor soul, but the power of his magic was too weak. Shadow Emperor was transformed into a zombie.

The other dragons soon rejected Shadow Emperor and then exiled him from the group.

His family didn't want him to leave completely, so Shadow made one promise.

He will return every night from his grave, but will leave once the sun's light appears over the horizon.
