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.

After accidentally destroying a family's barn with a misaimed gust, the apologetic dragon offered to help them rebuild it, managing to bring the family together in the process. With help from the humans, he had the frame and walls together in little time. As they worked, he came up with a catchy, fast-paced song to make barn-raising a little more fun. It was stuck in the humans' heads for days after their barn was rebuilt. Having never asked his name before seeing him off, they call their barn builder Raise This Barn.
