Storm Dragons are the masters of the skies. They are excellent fliers and land only to rest and eat. In addition, they have full control of the weather. They are very hot-tempered and easily angered. They will attack any human that bothers them, conjuring strong winds and dangerous lightning.

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.

Ex-Son never talks about the day he gave up his former name. Most other dragons assume he must have done something terrible that made his parents hate him, and his heart broke due to his deed and the loss of his parents' love. He derives comfort from his faithful mate, who has decided to go by the name of Ex-daughter-in-law to show her solidarity and everlasting love.
