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.

Over the centuries, the storms that sweep her world are becoming more and more violent. Many are beginning to fear that the end of their world is coming due to the fierce nature of these massive tempests. To stabilize the weather and prevent disaster, several Storm Dragons formed what is known as the Great Weather Manipulation Project (GWMP). Ori is a rather inquisitive dragon and is always looking for new things. She can never let any idea rest until she has explored it thoroughly. So, when Ori discovered that wind seems to play part in weather patterns, she toyed around with  the idea and performed experiments (often coercing unwilling Gray Dragons from her Cave into helping) until she realized she couldn't possibly spend enough time and energy by herself to explore the phenomenon by herself. Then she heard of GWMP. Instead of bribing and begging to get the help she needed for her experiments, Ori found herself with more volunteers than she could effectively use.
