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 melancholy creature can be spotted only during one part of the year, and only at one specific place. When the time for harvest draws near and the moon grows large in the chill skies, this male can sometimes be caught flitting into existence within a small graveyard, leaving a bundle of truly magnificent flowers on the same tomb, year after year. Those curious passerby who examine the ethereal bouquet after the dragon departs will find, much to their surprise, that the blooms fade away at their touch, as if they are meant for one person and one alone.
