Thundersnow Dragons are prolific magic users their entire lives, often developing this talent long before they leave the safety of their egg shell. However, these dragons are considered to be quite dangerous until they are much older, as it takes years of practice and experience before they can truly master control over the Ice and Lightning magic naturally produced within their bodies. This dedication to their craft has given way to snobbish and haughty personalities, especially for those who spend decades honing their abilities for the express purpose of defeating any and all opponents that come their way. Despite the fact that they aren’t always the most friendly or welcoming, a little patience and goodwill can go a long way to earning their trust. Those who manage to gain a Thundersnow’s companionship will always benefit from having a powerful ally to defend them, so long as they don’t mind a bit of attitude and cold weather in return.

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.

Cast may possibly be even more shy and isolated than his already meek brother, Mage. Their father, Warlock, abandoned the family after losing a fight to the menacing Master Dugeonsculpter, an infamous Scourgekeeper known causing unbridled chaos in his wake. Leaving to reclaim his pride as a warrior, Warlock left his family to fend for themselves, including his mate, Stardom, and two young hatchlings. Stardom did her best to help train her hatchlings in controlling their magic, but while Mage managed to contain his power well enough to live comfortably, Cast unfortunately did not. Cast was never able to get a lock down on his magic, at least not fully. He is often plagued by random bursts of lightning or frost he can't control, and any spells he tries to cast end up going horribly awry. Because of this, Cast has essentially banished himself from the family, living alone and trying to practice gaining control of his power. He waits for Warlock to return, hoping he can teach him.
