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.

Rob McKenna is unaware about his abilities and unconsciously makes the area around him rain. He hates it. He's been keeping track of the weather in a log book, numbering the types of rain he is in. There hasn't been a day where he hasn't been in wet weather, and he's miserable, as other folks point out to him. Because there is not another dragon in the region who can make it rain without much effort, McKenna has been called a Quasi Supernormal Incremental Precipitation Inducer ("Rain God"). Humans and dragons bribe him to stay out of resorts, beaches, and other places where rain is not welcome.
