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.

Over the centuries, the storms that sweep her world are becoming more and more violent. Many are beginning to fear that the end of their world is coming due to the fierce nature of these massive tempests. To stabilize the weather and prevent disaster, several Storm Dragons formed what is known as the Great Weather Manipulation Project (GWMP). As a young hatchling, Pavla was a voracious reader of her Cave's collection of books. When a representative from GWMP came to her Cave, Pavla showed the other dragon the books that dealt with weather in the Cave's collection. Because of her familiarity with the books, the representative asked Pavla if she would come back to GWMP's headquarters to help collect and organize GWMP's books on the weather. Pavla agreed readily and found herself a a permanent home with the Project.
