being near two hundred years old. Their size is not larger than the ravens of the old world but they stand aside

Reaver Shades
The war over possession of the ancient realm of Nagarythe, now a shattered series of isles, rages as strong now
as it did five thousand years ago. In an attempt to wrest control of these lands from the Shadow Warri-
ors of Ulthuan, the Witch King Malekith has moved several Shade clans to the Shadowlands to fight against the
interlopers defiling the ground of Nagarythe.
Malekith has promised these Shade clans possession of any Nagarythe lands that they can wrest from the High
Elves, and rewards them for every head of a Shadow Warrior sent to him in Naggarond. There is now sporadic
but vicious guerrilla fighting between the Shadow Warriors of Ulthuan and these émigré Shades -- sometimes
called the Sundered Clans or Reaver Shades. Malekith hopes that this fighting will sap the strength and morale
of the Shadow Warriors, so that they will be swept away when the time for a full invasion of Ulthuan by the Dark
Elves comes again.
Even amongst the vicious Dark Elves, the Shades are considered feral, for they practice all manner of strange,
unforgiving rites. Their children are abandoned outside the camps on midwinter's eve and are expected to sur-
vive and find their way home. Animal sacrifices made to the beating of drums liven the cold nights whilst the
Shades drink fermented blood, and the tents of the Shades are made from the skins of their prey -- wheth-
er Elf, Man, Orc or other beast.

Shadowweaving of Nagarythe Target: You

The magic traditions of Nagarythe teach shadow-
weaving, a way to craft spells and weave dark-
ness into shapes. This is mainly done through the
lore of shadows but the following spells are added
to the lore, techniques commonly used the shad-
owweavers of Nagarythe.
Pool of Shadows
CN: 5
Range: WpB yards
Target: All within range
Duration: WpB rounds
The area immediately surrounding the mage is sud-
denly filled with twisting shadows that make it nearly
impossible to see anything inside. All targets within
range count as obscured by shadow for the purpose of
attacking them.
Duration: Instant
Wings of darkness unfurl from the Shadow Weaver’s
back and engulf him. He disappears, only to reappear
in nearby shadow. Chose a place within shadows wit-
hin range, you dissapear and then you appear there.
Woven source of shade
CN: 0
Range: WpB yards
Target: An area of up to WpB yards
Duration: WpB rounds
The shadowweaver gathers small specks of shadow
and dark to create a shading feature. The targeted
area now counts as covered in shadow, apart from
being slightly darker this allows the casting of many of
the spells found here.

Shadowbind
CN: 5

Range: WpB yards

Target: One target within shadows

Duration: WpB rounds

Tendrils of darkness rise from the shadows to engulf

an enemy warrior, rendering him helpless to the
whims of the Shadow Weaver. The target gets entang-
led against a strength equal to the casters Willpower.

 Warrior Career

Shadowweaver
Highelf from Nagarythe
All High Elves have some aptitude for magic,
and those with the greatest aptitude are
taught how to bend the Winds of Magic to
their will. Shadow Weavers are the mages of
Nagarythe. Due to the nature of their unen-
ding war against the Dark Elves, the mages of
Nagarythe tend to specialise in magics that
use shadows to conceal their presence and
confound their enemies. In fact the title
Shadow Weaver comes from the nature of
their magic… like a talented tailor, the
Shadow Weaver takes the threads of shadow
and fashions them into shapes and forms of
his choosing.
In many ways this old magical tradition is clo-
ser to an artistic craft than the academic spell-
casting one tends to associate with the mages
of Ulthuan. And indeed they are not mages,
they do not practice high magic, they call
upon Ulgu, letting themselves be infused and
marked by it as it further aids their stealthy
movements.
Some Shadowweavers move on to study at
the tower of Hoeth and learn the magical trad-
itions of Saphery but most never do, using the
lesser magic of their homeland with brutal effi-
ciency.
A high elf from Nagarythe that rolls Wizard
on the career table may exchange the re-
sult for Shadowweaver if he wishes.
