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.

A darkness descended upon the land one Halloween. No dragon had ever seen anything like it: a pitch-black mass that swept across the ground and sky. Some were curious, at first -- until the ones first swallowed screamed and fell. Dragons ran for cover left and right. The vampires found themselves unaffected, and they took it upon themselves to brave the darkness. Many dragons crumbled to dust, but the vampires managed to save most of the Swallowed.

     Swallowed Shifting Smoke had been soaring through the clouds when the Darkness overtook him. He raced high and low, trying to escape, but the Darkness was disorienting and seemingly endless. Even the lightning he conjured couldn't light the way. The Darkness quickly weakened him; by the time a vampire found him, he'd crashed to the ground, and sustained serious injuries.

     These days, Smoke keeps himself constantly shrouded in fog, hiding himself from further danger and his scars from other dragons.
