Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Astrapi are easily the most temperamental of all Xenowyrm subspecies. Their unpredictable behavior—coupled with their masterful control of lightning magic—has the potential for devastating results. Most of their time is spent airborne, flying through the skies or circling mountainsides for prey.

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.

Storm is actually one of the calmer members of his subspecies. He works with Lightning to target areas of dead trees and undergrowth for controlled burning. Once an area is sectioned off, he strikes a tree in the middle of the area with a bolt of lightning, starting the burn. In this way, Storm is able to make a contribution to the clan, even though he lives high on the mountains.

Storm recently met a lovely ridgewing dragon named Violetta. She, too, lives high in the mountains, and he often spotted her up there when he was hunting. Her big, beautiful wings fascinated him, so he flew down to say hello. They became fast friends and, eventually, mates. Violetta recently clutched her first egg, which Storm is extremely proud of.
