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.

Roochot loves to study. She is curious but not playful, she takes everything very seriously, sometimes a little too much. Her studies brought her close to Isalorian who loved to share his interest in herbs and folklore medicine. But he was not serious enough. She traveled far and wide, flitting between planes of existence, to gather knowledge, never daring to tackle a problem until she understood it completely. Eventually she became a respected doctor. She utilized her ability to change her corporeality in order to carefully preform operations without breaking the skin and better understand her patients ailments. Sometimes though, others would get frustrated with her slowness. She was terribly methodical and would only treat one dragon at a time, often flitting around for days or even weeks to figure out exactly what was wrong. They wanted a quick fix and other dragons, such as Isalorian would be happy to give them a quick approximate fix.
