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.

Before Kyra became who she is today, she spent her days in exile for killing other dragons. Back then she went by the name of Jack and dragons usually mistook her for a male due to her brute strength and deadly ways. Eventually even the dragons in the land of exile became too fearful of her and she was sent away and forced to wander the worst, most desolate, places of the earth.

As she wandered, she secretly hoped to find her old friend Riddick. Riddick, a merciless outlaw thunder dragon, is the only dragon she ever looked up to and trusted. But he abandoned her for unknown reasons, which left Kyra bitter and eventually led to her being the way she is.
