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.

Exile Lithun Vagus-Tono was a formal ruler whose whereabouts are unknown. He was dethroned by Nazix Fural-Rex in a brutal battle spanning one day and one night. He had held his own until dusk fell, when he began to tire. Throughout the night he was clawed, bitten, thrown, tackled, and beaten mercilessly. He tried to get up and fight back but quickly found himself on the ground again, either due to an attack or a lack of strength. Eventually, he simply passed out, and woke up to being dragged down the Spire by Nazix. Once at the bottom, she screeched at him to get up and walk, swiping at him until he did so. He staggered out, dizzy, weak, and about to collapse, when Nazix leaped onto him and declared her victory, holding him down with claws digging into him as she spoke. "Exile Lithun Vagus-Tono, you must leave here now and never return, unless you wish for a long and painful death—courtesy of me." She left, and Lithun stumbled away, staring at the ground wavering below him.
