Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

"In a world as vast as ours, it is highly unlikely that we shall ever explore all of it thoroughly. Particularly when one considers that certain areas do not wish to be examined..."

One of those places is the Whistlemoor. Those who pass to close to its edges swear they have heard eerie cries and strange voices trailing up from the dark waters. Skeptics say it is only the whistling of the wind through the reeds, but regardless, few dare to enter that lonely expanse and those rare few who do, and survive, come back bearing tales of a demon that walks on the water.
