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.

This relaxed male believes that life is pointless--and, as such, that it doesn't require solid goals or hard work on his part. Content to spend his time doing whatever it is he most feels like doing at the time, he enjoys long walks in the evening and bird watching, making a habit out of counting how many crows he can spot in a single day. When informed that this endeavor of his is rather pointless, he merely laughs, replying that life itself can't be much more pointless than counting crows.
