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.

Harbinger is the son of Agyo, one of the four Elders of his clan, and Garath. From his youngest days he has had a fascination with thunder and wind, the heralds of storms, more than the storms themselves. He has learned to make the sounds of thunder with his own roar and can often be seen playing in the air currents created by his mother's storms. Sometimes he will make thunder on a cloudless day, much to the confusion of those below.
