Tsunami Wyverns are gigantic dragons that live near the ocean. These wyverns can create deadly tsunamis by vigorously flapping their wings directly above the water. They create these waves to catch the eye of potential mates or as a form of self defense, as they are hunted for their beautiful skin. A Tsunami Wyvern’s wings are also helpful in gliding over the ocean without expending much energy. Their colors make it easy for them to blend in with the ocean water, which can be useful while stalking prey. Using their rudder-like tails and webbed feet to dive deep into the water, they can easily catch and eat their fill of big fish. Tsunami Wyverns can be found mostly near island chains.

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.

Itsani lives in the ocean outside the Eye of the Storm. He wants to go to the main islands in the South Sisters chain, but is unwilling to risk angering the humans that already live there and the mainland with which they trade many goods. He has built himself a large raft from wrecked ships retrieved from the ocean floor to serve as a weyr. He has tethered it with very many anchors so it is not lost in the storm he dens in the shade of.

Itsani wants to live  peacefully, but has learned that every time he has approached a human vessel, they have either attacked him or tried desperately to flee. He has become lonely, but is too fearful to leave the isolation of the Eye's shade. Some days, he thinks he can sense things within the storm wall's heart, but he is never sure over the roaring of the winds. He wishes to investigate, but fears  a violent death from the raging winds.
