Shadow Walkers are a strange breed that possess the ability to slip between the planes of reality, becoming immaterial. This allows them to hide in the shadows, either hunting from the concealment of near invisibility or evading enemies. Though they become corporeal to mate or to eat, they spend most of the rest of their lives walking in the shadows. Shadow Walkers are wary creatures, though on dark autumn evenings when the leaves fall to swirl in the chill, rain damp air, they may be seen drifting out from the shadows.

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.

Spiritheart could be considered a curious dragon; his mind is always elsewhere. This dragon is rather clever, but it is hard to figure out what he is thinking. Perhaps he is pondering something beyond this reality; nobody is sure of that. Even if that is so, he continues to drift and travel around, as if looking for something, but always returns back to the place he was born and raised. He is of gentle nature towards humans, but he has a knack for trying to fool or trick others using the Shadow Walkers' ability to become visible and invisible.
