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.

Silence's namesake was given for the fact that her presence can always be detected by an ominous, unnatural silence in the autumn forest. The drifting leaves will fall still and quiet as Silence roams into the area; the only things that will move is a small dust-devil-like mass of dancing leaves being tossed in the air wherever Silence goes. It's not uncommon for a dragon to be alarmed by the sudden quietness, then turn as they hear the leaves around Silence as she makes her way past, followed by her small trail of wind amidst a field of quiescence.

She was not raised into the Clan, and as such her age and origins are entirely unknown. She was likely present in the territory long before the Clan took it over, and now she will curiously watch her new neighbors from her home between worlds, but never does she disturb them.
