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.

Hentenda Orodo has refused to allow Eth, the clan chronicler, to put up a description of himself on the cave wall. Eth has ignored his wishes and put up a description anyway. Hentenda is, in a word, a "killjoy." Whatever the other dragons view as fun he views as pointless and ridiculous. His idea of "fun" is cataloging different plant species and collecting rock samples.
