Thunder Dragons are the masters of electricity. Their wings gather energy as they soar through the clouds, and when they clap their wings together they can create devastating arcs of lightning. They can stay airborne nearly indefinitely, landing only to sleep and breed; they catch their prey from the air and take moisture from the clouds. A thunder dragon’s roar is considered to be an omen of misfortune.

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.

Brac is one of the foremost members of his Cave. As part of the large and powerful Ovenshore family, Brac is expected to be an excellent leader. For the most part, Brac is. He works hard to make sure that every dragon in his Cave feels like they are a valued part of society and can often be found mediating the various conflicts that can occur between dragons. While the other members of the Ovenshore family tend to be quite controlling, Brac has found the best way to maintain his position of superiority within the Cave is to just be a good leader. Rather than scheming and plotting ways to stay in power, Brac focuses on actually helping the dragons in his Cave. He feels his position is much more secure than the rest of his family because of his decision to actually be a good leader.
