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.

Her calm confidence radiates outwards from her sleek and muscular body leaving onlookers in awe of Venus Libra. A pathway will clear for her wherever she wishes to go, and she walks through the cave like she is their Queen, the shyer shadow walkers hiding in her path, relying on her for support and a kind word. Although she appears to be as calm as spring water, inside Venus feels like she on a stormy sea, trapped with every attempt to swim to shore resulted in being pulled further and further back, her body slowly becoming heavier and heavier as she struggles for survival. From an early age she had realised that the Halloween dragons needed a leader, who would help them adjust to cave life, and as nobody stepped forward, she did. At first it seemed like the right thing to do, wading through the shallow life of the clan's hierarchy, but it soon became clear she had left the shore long behind.
