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.

Time and experience has worked hard to make Taaburbuuryet into the dragon she is today. She is strong, powerful, and can be quite strict. But deep inside is a heart of gold that drives her to be patient and caring, traits that are fitting a proud mother with numerous offspring. Under the watchful eye of their matriarch, the children of Taa and her underlings are strong, healthy, and having families of their own. In the end, it is a good life.
