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.

Liadain is a dragon of the ancient Storm clan, temperamental even by their standards. Rejected by his clanmates as an egg, and hatched by klinneah, he established himself over Lugia as the dominant male. He likes his weather on the severe and life-threatening side, and he loves nothing more than to go swooping around in a hurricane, although other Storm clanmembers wonder why he reserves a grudging affection for the scrollkeeper who raised him.
