As black in soul as the night, known by the races of the realms only as shadows, these lurkers of the dark are ever present, moving beyond the eye's range of sight through the darkness. They seem to be humanoid in appearance, but since even in the brightest light, they remain but shadows, one cannot tell whether this is true. As graceful in movement as the flow of liquid, shadows are only limited by their lack of independent thought. Although shadows are more naturally suited to pure spellcasting classes, their great dexterity and ability to dodge enemy attacks, combined with the ability to pass through some locked doors makes them very competent thieves. Little is known about their origins—legend has it they are the result of an ancient god's curse, although this is nothing but speculation.
