The Shades

Being — Survivors of the Fall

What the Elect became after the Scorching. Multiple entities who can act in coordination or entirely alone. Not a hive mind; they do not share thoughts or perception. They retain memory, intent, and individual will.

Not controlled directly by Umbra, but bound to him by fate. They share Umbra's doom, though their fate is considered less absolute — they may still walk the surface of Deepmere in shadow.

Greatly diminished from their Highborn state. Harbor deep hatred for Eyru and for Kinsfolk. Serve Umbra's purpose through choice, alignment, and shared ruin.
