The Pursuer

Being — Wandering Name

Collective mythic name for the Shades. Used because the Shades were not understood as separate entities but perceived as a single presence. They appear alike in form, reinforcing the belief in singularity. Their appearances in quick succession created the illusion of omnipresence.

This led many Kinsfolk to believe the Pursuer could arise wherever darkness lay, without traveling. In truth, this was the result of many Shades acting independently or in loose coordination.

The Pursuer pressures, narrows paths, and attempts to herd the Kinsfolk in poor directions. It hunts rather than attacks directly.
