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.

Above the small village hidden in the Valley of the Stars lairs a young Gray dragon. The old grannies of the village tell stories of the dragon's coming and going. They say that when the dragon comes to roost, it brings the rain that brings life to their crops and sustains the people. Thus they welcome it, and have fondly named it Foreshadow.

Yet they also say that should the dragon stay too long, the seedlings will drown in the endless rain...

Thus, every spring, the strongest and bravest warrior in the village leaves to fight the dragon, which flies away into the clouds leaving the worst storm of the season in its wake.

Some years, or so the grannies say, the brave warrior even returns alive.
