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.

Stormarden is Gilderstane's loyal mate. She hatched shortly after he did, and the two naturally grew up together, alongside Frorean and Tempestost—at the time, those four had the whole Breedery to themselves. The two remain very close, but do not spend much time together, as Stormarden rarely leaves the skies, and Gilderstane rarely leaves the oldest parts of the Breedery itself. She is responsible for managing the weather above the Breedery according to Lurhstaap's needs. Unlike some storm dragons put in that role, she very much enjoys her job, because Lurhstaap loves rain, thunderstorms, and hail, and often commands her to produce such entertaining weather. He doesn't often make her clear the skies or allow the sun to shine for too long; only just enough for the health of the land. The only exception is the patch of sky directly over the garden, which must be left clear most of the time for the sake of the growing plants. Sun loving dragons tend to congregate there because of this.
