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.

HuiYun is colored like the fog of a sleepy granite town in the cool, crisp autumn morning; like the sky over an abandoned fishery just before it rains, gulls circling underneath freely; like the ocean waves lightly coated by ashes of a loved one, tossed gently toward a foreign shore no feet has walked upon. Like twisting and coiling smoke, HuiYun loves to drift, rarely noticed except as a faint gleam of sunlight against a background of gray. Her occasionally falling scales give beautiful, bittersweet daydreams, which are reminiscent of the best days of youth and of the endless summers, to any man who looks up to the heavens on a clouded day.
