As a paladin, the knowledge that two innocent people were killed because of you is extremely painful for Aurelien and is very difficult for him to talk about. They are forever bonded together and he cannot set them free. So Aurelien has his main personality and mind, but then in the background there are faint remnants of the old woman and he girl. This is always how shades are artificially made through magic, which makes them not only tragic but also carry with them some remnants of the consciousnesses of the people used to create them. The ritual involved two innocent sacrifices (in Aurelien’s case, an old woman and a six year-old girl) whose souls were used to fuel the transformation ritual. The priest served a god of corruption, so capturing a paladin of Light and imprisoning him for eternity in the body of a shade is corruption at its finest and gained him boons with his god. If the eyes are dispelled, meaning the magic in them is dissipated or gotten rid of, the shade will “die” and cease to exist.Īurelien was transformed into a shade by an evil priest who captured him for use in a dark ritual. In that case, their eyes will remain and he shadowstuffs will slowly regenerate over time. Shades can be severely injured and rendered dormant if they are attacked with positive energy or holy magic and their shadowstuffs are burned away. The gemstone eyes are suspended in a cloud of black, cracking, cool/cold, negatively charged material that look and feels like mist or smoke. This can happen naturally, because of divine intervention, or as a result of humans tampering with powerful magicks. Their eyes are typically magically charged gemstones, in Aurelien’s case two rubies. Shades “live” due to a power source, usually found in their eyes. Negative here means literally negatively charged, cool or cold, and dark sometimes to the point of blocking out all light if dense enough. I don’t mean negative as in bad or evil, although it can certainly take on that character. Shadowkin are creatures made literally of shadow, which is actually concentrated negative energy. Background & General Info: Aurelien is a shade, a species of shadowkin.
