Born from shadows and shaped by the depths of the Void, the Shadowborn are the last remnants of a forgotten humanity, molded by darkness and defined by survival. Descendants of those who fled the collapse of the underground world of the Vaelkrathü, they dwelled for centuries in the shadows, hidden in the vast network of chambers that once belonged to the extinct race.
The darkness of the Void was not only their prison but also their sanctuary and teacher. Where others would have perished, the Shadowborn adapted. Their eyes, ghostly and translucent, learned to see what others could not, reading shadows like others read light. Their pale, scarred skin became a map of survival—a testament to each generation that endured the wrath of the Eye.
The Void was relentless, always seeking to consume them, but they learned to harness its power, turning its shadows into strength. They were not warriors by choice, but by necessity. Every shadow concealed a secret, every whisper carried a warning, and every step could lead to oblivion. Only the clever and unyielding survived long enough to truly become Shadowborn, carrying the darkness within them.
To wear the mantle of a Shadowborn is to carry the legacy of those who never surrendered, of those who embraced the darkness and made it their strength. They do not fear shadows because they are part of the shadows.
