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.

Oenkz belongs to the fourth generation of Walkers to join the clan, or rather she just arrived at the same time they did. In fact Oenkz is a Golden Wyvern. Or so she believes. After all her father was one and she has never known her mother, only that weird ghostly apparition that haunted her father's lair and often pretended to be a real dragon. She even tried to order Oenkz around like only her father was allowed to do. But she would hear nothing of it. After all no ghost could order a proud Wyvern around.

If a dragon should point out her lack of shimmering scales, she will just tell them that it's obviously a curse the haunted soul put on her and nothing more.
