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.

Elric of Melnibone possessed two blades—Stormbringer, and Mournblade. Both blades were demons locked into sword form, but they did not stay that way. Stormbringer managed to reform himself into a dragon, and discovered that he had been claimed by a diminutive winged humanoid that called herself 'Fyre'. The faerie Fyre leashed Stormbringer with spells that bound him to her scroll of dragon keeping, and keeps a close eye on this trapped demon.
