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.

Meiryn is the leader of the Scolkeoletes, but he is rarely ever seen, causing the clan to mostly be run by Mireille the Magma dragon. Occasionally he can be seen with his mate Erica, if he is seen at all. He mainly only appears to the world to name hatchlings, as is the duty of the leader.

What is known about his personality is that he seems cold and unwelcoming. Not much is known about him, however, due to his nature of rarely being present. His name is very similar to that of his master—Meilyn. She often rides on his back, sometimes carrying an egg or sick hatchling.

His call is a roar matched maybe by a battle cry, chanted by warriors as they race into a skirmish. In fact, he is rarely but more often than otherwise seen at the edges of his region, clashing with another clan. His fighting style seems to be to vanish into the shadows, appear behind his 'victim', and rake his claws against the back of their neck.
