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.

Gildarex Fog is one of the Elder Dragons in Zephyra's clan. When she was young, everyone believed she and the eldest male of the clan, Sylexion, would someday be mates, but not long after she was old enough to mate, Sylexion chose to mate with Rooreth instead. Gildarex has always been sour about this, and believes that, even though she is one of the highest ranking dragons, she should be ranked even higher.

She often has nightmares about being de-ranked, and whenever she does she makes rain clouds in the den. This annoys her mate Nurrowin, who would enjoy getting a good night's sleep every now and again.
