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.

This dragon hails from a primitive tribe, one in which old ceremonies and ancient rites hold sway over all else, and the clan consistently demands the sacrifice of living beings because of the decaying religion to which it clings. However, this fate was almost changed; the druid who was the society's most recent high priest was a wise and gentle creature, and he sought to set his tribe on a more peaceful path. Believing in the druid's vision, this dragon happily served him as his acolyte--until his teacher departed the backwards clan to find a gentler people. Too afraid of the unknown world beyond his home's borders to follow, the apprentice remained behind... and soon found himself locked in the steely gaze of the clan's vicious high priestess. Raised and groomed by the dark-hearted druidess, he now serves as both her mate and the cult's new high priest, with little trace remaining of the gentle creature he used to be.
