Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

Ryrdren and Kathos, two ancient faederkin priests of the Raven Queen have recently returned to the world through the Fey Dark as Fey Liches known as the Keepers. No one knows exactly how many Keepers there are as reports of Keepers as far south as Issyleth and as far north as Eyrolia. This ancient nethermagic that they wield is somehow tied to the recent rise to divinity of the archfey, Alotha, the Dark Pana, the legendary younger sister of the Raven Queen. Arcane savants across the globe have been studying the at once novel, and truly ancient language known as the Shadow Script. It is in the Shadow Script, an alphabet of innate energy, that the Fey Dark expands darkens the shadows of the Fey Wilds and brightens the sun across the Shadowfel.

Eddison Drake encountered Ryrdren and Kathos outside of Farharrow. It was there that the first shade realized a core piece of his mystery, indeed an original perspective on the nature of Shadow magic and what its local and perhaps global implications may be.

When Stefan the Shadar Kai, a zealotous priest of the Raven Queen, conspired to steal the town of Farharrow back to its original home on the Shadowfel and away from its new place of power, the Feydark, he needed a vessel of innocence that had been tainted with shadow. The nethermancer chose Ithiri, a drow with no family, they had all been killed in the night of the Sever. Stefan was able to hide the town inside of one of the girl’s tears. It was not until the assassin Brynn Bobbin and her friend, the first shade Eddison Drake, lead by the voidmancers, another sect of the Raven Queen’s vast conspiratorial web, found the girl and drove Stefan back to Letherna.

Stefan the Shadar Kai nethermancer was defeated by the Shadow Heroes of Farharrow.
