Thunder Dragons are the masters of electricity. Their wings gather energy as they soar through the clouds, and when they clap their wings together they can create devastating arcs of lightning. They can stay airborne nearly indefinitely, landing only to sleep and breed; they catch their prey from the air and take moisture from the clouds. A thunder dragon’s roar is considered to be an omen of misfortune.

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.

This dragon was born the son of a tyrant, and he was raised to be the heir to a tyrant. The young prince of a land ruined by war and disease, he grew up watching his father torture those beneath him, and grew up being told that this was just. But the lies never ensnared his heart, and he did his best to be kind and true to his people, awaiting the day when he would gain the throne and be able to right his father's wrongs. But this hope for a peaceful future was flipped on its head when his father saw fit to murder the Sunsong his son had fallen in love with, claiming her common heritage and weak spirit would defile the bloodline. Enraged, the young Thunder challenged his father, lost, and was promptly exiled. Finally realizing that there was no easy road to peace, the noble outcast began to build his army, made of friends and those to whom he had shown past kindness and strangers with righteous hearts, preparing for the day in which he will overthrow his demonic father.
