 Originally an upstanding city-state brought under the dominion of the [[tsarven_empire|Tsarven empire]], they broke off nearly a century ago as their own independent region. Passing through various magistrate leaders, the city became skewed towards darker motives and became involved in matters such as assisting transport of slaves from [[tharis|Tharis]] to [[tonovi|Tonovi]], and the invasion of [[torm|Torm]] by an allied militant force of Shadow and Tonovi's armies. Following several attempt to overthrow Shadow by powerful bands of adventurers, and the untimely deaths of its latest series of magistrates, control of the city was taken by the merchants guild. Under their rule the city was drawn back to a very rigidly-lawful standing. Originally an upstanding city-state brought under the dominion of the [[tsarven_empire|Tsarven empire]], they broke off nearly a century ago as their own independent region.

-Since the advent of the merchant council, many of Shadow's once-hostile neighbors now hold somewhat friendly trade agreements, if not actual alliances. Stronger ties have been reformed with [[azha|Azha]], and through them to the Tsarven Empire beyond, and also with Torm. It maintains contact as the sole trader with [[verbobone|Verbobone]] and [[seneca|Seneca]] mostly by way of psionic transport systems, given their remote location. Ties have loosened to neutrality with Tonovi and Tharis, who still trade with the city, but share no further alliance.+Since the advent of the merchant council, many of Shadow's once-hostile neighbors now hold somewhat friendly trade agreements, if not actual alliances.

-Shadow has recently seen its entire Council either die or retire, leaving one remaining councilor, Corum Stornway in charge. The city has a long history of change in rulership, with many being lost to assassination or simply disappearing.+The city has a long history of change in rulership, with many being lost to assassination or simply disappearing, which is what happened to Corum Stornway in the late 760ies SG. He has been replaced by a merchant council, which has been Shadow's main form of rulership for the last century or so.

- 
-**Corum Stornaway** - Previously tied more closely to Torm, Corum is the most recent addition to Council. It is said that he is much older than he appears. 
  
 **Anthony Byne** - A bookish man with a knack for numbers. He handles all of the book-keeping for the Council. Prefers the company of books to people. **Anthony Byne** - A bookish man with a knack for numbers. He handles all of the book-keeping for the Council. Prefers the company of books to people.

-====== Enemies of the State ====== 
- 
-**Bannic** - A tiefling who led an attack on the city, accompanied by an elf and a dragon. Apparently he was attempting to unseat the magistrate at that time, Commander Durant. 
- 
-**Selucia Talmalanes** - A terrifying Aasimar, once a priest of Jarmila, turned into a being of pure evil, serving Ashra, and harkening her return to the world. She attacked the city many times to cause terror, and demanding the head of Commander Durant. 
- 
-**Cinque** - An elf who attacked the city, again, to unseat Commander Durant. 
- 
-**Minienel** - A mysterious Drow who caused a rebellion in Tonovi and spreading chaos throughout the Dagger region. Some say he nearly achieved godhood after killing a Nightwalker with a group of heroes. Too dangerous to be allowed to roam freely in any city. 
  
-**Eleria** - A known vampire.
