Herald: The Awakener
“Intelligent shadows are diabolical entities against which we are simply unprepared. With infinite patience, they lurk and wait in the dark and they watch us with their empty eyes. They study us, as if life as we know it were alien to them. Many of them do not distinguish it from death and they extend their filaments of darkness upon our fallen comrades. A shadow in particular has turned into its art manipulating the bodies of the fallen. They call it the “Awakener” because those that had been sleeping return to life in its evil grasp. Be warned: never envy that awakening because it is far from being preferable to the silence of death.” (From the Journals of the Scholar)
