Habitat & Society

Young Stormdrakes are most often found circling tempest-ridden skies, nesting on craggy cliffs or the sheer sides of floating isles. They are solitary hunters, but in the wild they sometimes bond with nomadic sky-clans who worship the storm as a divine force. In these tribes, drakes are raised alongside children and trained as mounts for raiding parties.

Behavior & Ecology

Stormdrakes feed primarily on seabirds, skyfish, and anything knocked from ships during storms. They are not inherently evil, but their volatile temperaments and love of open skies make them natural allies for bandits.

• Young drakes are reckless, often diving into battle with thunderous displays.
• Older drakes can control their storm-blasts with precision, able to shatter masts or scatter entire crews.

  Stormdrakes mate for life, and pairs can command entire flocks of juveniles.

Legends & Lore

Sailors whisper that Stormdrakes are born from the lightning itself, their eggs crackling with sparks until they hatch. Some claim that the booming echo of a thunderstorm is not natural, but the voices of drakes calling across the skies. A rarer superstition insists that if a drake circles a ship three times without attacking, it is a sign of divine favor — though more often, it’s simply the drake sizing up prey.
