Electric Dragons wield electricity with great prowess. Bright sparks race across these dragons’ bodies in a dazzling dance of light, complemented by the blindingly radiant sparks on their tails. Using their bellies and manes as stores for this electrical energy, Electric Dragons wield crackling magic, stunning and electrocuting their prey with a whip of their tail. During mating season it is typically those with the most brilliant sparks—an indicator of strength and hunting ability—that are drawn to each other.

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.

A lover of discovery, Joul is constantly at his machines, working and tinkering until they operate the way he wants. He's most especially interested in his own body's ability to produce electricity, something he wants to harness and use to help humans that still use candles to see in the dark. When his mate Stuha leaves for the winter, his mood darkens considerably, and his experiments take on a haughty, dangerous edge; but he has friends in Cannoncog and Ejilsis, and someday his ideas might come to fruitition.
