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.

Setareh is the matriarch's eldest, though far from her favourite. Setareh, despite being a storm dragon, resembles her father most in temperament: not combative but laid-back, disinterested in power and the struggles that come with it. Initially chosen as the heir should anything happen to her mother, the clan leader, her duties changed from those of leadership to the expansion of the bloodline. Setareh must breed with strong-willed males and produce equally strong children, so that one could be selected as her replacement. This does not bother her.
