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.

Cyclone has two prize dragons vying for her affections, Show Gun and Appley Cider. The two bronze dragons fell for her as soon as they saw her, and since then haven't stopped trying to prove their love. She finds she prefers Cider's poems to Show Gun's flowers and chocolates. Show Gun always makes an effort to show off when Cyclone is near, but she just ends up wishing he'd stop being such a show-off. Cider once took her to Scrollscribe's scroll library, and when she saw it she was amazed. It was a huge building, large enough to hold at least 600 dragons. The shelves were high up, and each dragon had their own row where their information was stored. Cyclone and Cider walked around and explored. There was one row they found that showed a white dragon's extremely messy lineage, though the ink on the dragons name was messy and looked as if it was scribbled in a hurry. Cyclone finds that she is falling more and more in love with Cider, and knows she will have to choose a mate soon.
