Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

Glow Cloud is part of a small, tight-knit group of Nhiostrifes living in a remote desert valley hidden up in the mountains. This remote vale is a place of strange occurrences and even stranger dragons and they have little to no contact to the outside world. It's suspiciously similar to another community in a far-off dragon clan.

One of the more dangerous Nhiostrifes of the area, Glow Cloud only vocalizes in a low, whistling noise and spends much of his time hunting for small animals. Oddly enough, he seems to hoard the prey instead of eating it and defends his private cave by flinging the bodies at any intruders. Hatchlings like to dare each other to run directly at his cave, shrieking and waving their wings. He appeared without warning one day, surveying the community before deciding that it was the ideal place to raise his young and settled down. Despite his eccentricities, Glow Cloud has been known to pitch in and help the community during times of need.
