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.

Cameo is a mysterious dragon. She sleeps in the dark area of the cave, where she is not disturbed. She is the eighteenth dragon to hatch and she is part of the Dragon Hunters. She spents most of her free time walking in shadows and slipping into a shadow of herself. Other dragons doubt that Cameo De Dragnaire is not a real shadow. However, Chief Ridget insists that she is a real dragon that is part of the Dragnaire clan.
