Drakari of the Stormbound Dragons
“The storm is not our burden. It is our birthright.”
Born of thunder, fear, and fury, the Raezari descend from the tempest-forged Stormbound dragons. These Drakari embody raw power restrained by fragile control. Their blood thrums with lightning, and their emotions crackle dangerously close to chaos. To be Raezari is to live one breath from devastation—and to find beauty in that edge.

They live not in peace, but in harmony with danger.
Dual-Mind Instinct
Drakari are creatures of conflict. Every Raezari carries two minds:
The Inferno — primal, explosive, wrathful, obsessed with dominance and conquest
The Vessel — disciplined, alert, survival-focused, trained to channel fury without succumbing to it
This inner divide fuels their warlike brilliance. The Inferno craves destruction; the Vessel tempers it into deadly precision. But when fury eclipses focus, a Raezari risks becoming a living wildfire—burning all, even allies, in its path.
Bonding Tendencies
- Matebonds: Passionate, sometimes volatile, but unshakable once formed
- Oathbound: Often formed to protect those weaker, or to stabilize their own storm
- In full dragon form, they can speak telepathically with their Oathbound
- The death of an Oathbound can trigger a “skyshatter” event: uncontrolled weather phenomena tied to grief
- Chosen: Rarely made; each chosen weakens the Raezari’s control over their power
If the Raezari is betrayed, the backlash may level cities.
Unique Traits
- Can build and release electrical charges through skin, roar, or wings
- Eyes may flash with actual lightning during moments of revelation or fury
- Breath weapon: thunder pulse or chain lightning
- Their presence distorts the air; the calm before the storm often is the Raezari
Cultural Notes
- Many Raezari full dragon-forms live in storm-temples, wind-swept towers, or underground bunkers near lightning plains
- They keep storm journals—tracking internal moods against atmospheric pressure
- In some cultures, they serve as ritual punishers or truth-callers, bringing the storm when justice fails
“Lightning doesn’t ask permission. Neither do we.”
