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.

The Thunder King of Death is a caveborn thunder dragon. He lived a lonely life in his scroll village, until he found what he thought was his true love, The Golden Infertile Queen. She was a caveborn gold, who lived in the scroll castle. For years, The Golden Infertile Queen had refused to breed a gold egg for her scrollmaster. But The Thunder King of Death convinced her like no one else could and got her to open up. In only two weeks, he and The Golden Infertile Queen had bred a beautiful golden heir to their throne.

However, after only a short period of time, The Golden Infertile Queen got bored of him, and left him to find other mates, even after he had helped her. He was no longer needed. The final act which broke apart their relationship was when she introduced another young, handsome, caveborn gold to the castle, and named him the new king, replacing The Thunder King of Death. He still calls himself a king, but in reality, he is treated no better than a servant.
