All Gloom Tenders carry a light of some sort, crafted by the individual dragon. It can be anything from a chunky candle holder, to a delicate paper lantern, or a simple wooden torch. Gloom Tenders themselves are often cool, dark colors, with pops of bright accents that are capable of bioluminescence, but there have been a good number of pastel-hued dragons in their midsts. Shadow-related magic is common, but so are light-based abilities. Many Gloom Tenders are versed in potion-craft, creating pocket-sized lights for the rest of dragonkind. They tend to dress in gothic-inspred fashions, though some lean more "scene" or "emo" than others.
A vast, brooding wilderness of briarwood & mushroom forests, the Gloom Tender's homeworld is a tangle of thorns that outsiders can easily get lost in. The sun barely breaks through the outer rim of their deep woods, and it just gets darker the further you go. There are said to be countless dangers here, from mushroom-monsters to undead terrors. But throughout the deep, there is a trail of well cared for lanterns that lead to the Gloom Tender's central home: a sprawling necropolis with lighthouse-towers for each family of gravekeepers.

about
Said to be the reason the moon shines as bright as it does, Gloom Tenders are the true guardians of the night. They deal in everything that the wider draconic communities are fearful of, or would rather shun and ignore because it's not "palatable" to the rest.
Darkness can be smothering, but with a Gloom Tender's light, even the scariest of places seem a little less grim. Gloom Tenders themselves can be macabre at times, as one of their primary roles is to carry out burial rites and tend to undead, but they are a largely misunderstood community.
Some less informed dragons think of them as witch-like, imagining they dabble in "evil" magics and are looking to trick the other communities, but this couldn't be further from the truth.
