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.

A lot of people seem to think there is a handsome, pale-scaled tom who wanders the outskirts of Lloyprij where the terrain is scarred from an ancient, long-forgotten magical war or other. Some go so far as to posit that he is a ghost from someone killed back during the war. The shadow walker they identify as looking like the one outside of Lloyprij actually lives in Nworset and has never been more than a few hundred kilometres south of the city limits. He certainly wasn't around in the time of whatever war might have happened. He works as a sheriff and spends most of his time chasing When I was walking up the stair out of town for being a nuisance to society. However, when off-duty, it is said that he likes the celestial very much.
