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.

One Who Pours Tears is the grandson of One Who Dazzles. His temperament is much more like the gentle guardians of his lineage than that of his stormy brethren. He prefers to stay out of the violent winds and torrential rains of his grandmother and father, instead creating gentle, life-giving rains that water the flowers and fields near the weyr. He enjoys soaking his scales in that rain, and often comes home with a bit of a sniffle.
