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.

There was a time when he was important,

a time where they loved him all,

but then as soon as peace was restored,

his kingdom began to fall...

Requiem the defender!

Requiem the brave!

Requiem the peacekeeper,

expelling the thieves and knaves!

But as the war fog cleared,

and the end of the fighting neared,

those jealous of Requiem,

decided to take over all!

They galloped through the countryside,

spreading lies and mistrust like fire,

and soon Requiem's leadership,

the good and honest began to tire...

And so one day they came to his humble home,

threw him out to live eternally alone,

and Requiem became no one,

faded away in shame.

For he knew he was no longer loved,

for he knew nobody cared,

for Requiem the defender,

faded away into thin air...

But once a year,

he reappears,

to haunt his old kingdom,

reminding those

who took his throne,

that he was not begone.
