Electric Dragons wield electricity with great prowess. Bright sparks race across these dragons’ bodies in a dazzling dance of light, complemented by the blindingly radiant sparks on their tails. Using their bellies and manes as stores for this electrical energy, Electric Dragons wield crackling magic, stunning and electrocuting their prey with a whip of their tail. During mating season it is typically those with the most brilliant sparks—an indicator of strength and hunting ability—that are drawn to each other.

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.

Genis has a far greater telepathy than most dragons, so great in fact that he has no power over it. He can't help but hear all the thoughts of dragons and humans that get too close to him, and that's slowly driving him insane. In an attempt to protect him, his clanmates have emptied a high peak just for him, so he can get some rest at least. Only the most disciplined telepaths who can shield their own thoughts somewhat are allowed to visit him and only under specific circumstances. For the time being it seems to help and slowly Genis regains a sense of self.
