Shadar-Kai

Though they once lived among the Eladrin elves of the Feywild, these fey creatures call the Shadowfel their home. Durothil Camryar, leader of the fey creatures in the Feywild, cursed them and cast them out of his lands and into the Shadowfel when they ignored his rulings about tampering with dark magics. They now live within the kingdom of Arathnora.

They are usually slightly taller and thinner than humans, they move with a grace typical of fey creatures. Their skin is usually a pale white or grey, and their eyes are a void of blackness. Shadows seem to reach out and cling to them as they pass them by.

The curse they now hold requires them to live in the Shadowfel or else become weakened. Their soul is tied there, to the shadows themselves. The constant pull on their soul leaves most Shadar-Kai in a perpetual state of melancholy, a constant dreary weakness. Those that choose to dwell on the material plane often find themselves thrill seeking to attempt to counteract the effects of the curse. Although they are in a weaker state while outside of their now native plane, they can survive, but they are often found clinging to shadows as if it weakens their sadness.
