253 Thank You It is interesting how helping others fills you with a sense of calm purpose, a situation I currently find myself in. After all, this text will undoubtedly save lives. Yes, perhaps I shall. Why should I keep the vast stores of knowledge in my mind hidden away from those less fortunate than I? No, would be best if I start to write another tome at once. But, where to begin? Which of the Lower Planes is the most likely to kill off hapless adventurers without my guidance and aid? - Ulraunt, Keeper of Tomes, Candlekeep
I am pleasantly surprised to say that, since its incorporation into the Halls of Knowledge and learning here at Candlekeep, my guide to the realm of the Shadowfell has been read and examined with an unusual regularity. I attribute this to the way in which I succinctly organized and presented my thoughts, how one section effortlessly flows into the next, all while providing the reader with accurate and eminently useful information. I most certainly hope, however, that I was not too successful, that my choice of words were not too evocative or enticing. After all, I would hate to have inspired others to undertake that journey, to have inadvertently caused even one individual to lose themselves in shadow and despair, taken by darkness and death. To be perfectly clear, that is all that awaits those who foolishly wander into the Shadowfell in search of adventure. Do not waste your time or your lives with delusions of any other outcome. - Ulraunt, Keeper of Tomes, Candlekeep Travel to the Shadowfell with in-world narration to guide you along the way. Visit the cities of Gloomwrought and Evernight or even the floating city of Thultanthar. If you dare, the Mists can whisk you away to one of five Dread Domains such as the Burning Peaks, the shared domain of Vecna and Kas, or Sunderheart, a city fallen from grace with a history of debauchery and infernal experimentation. Here you will find lore, roleplaying tips, and statistics for several deities and other powerful creatures, such as Kezef the Chaos Hound and Shar, Goddess of Darkness and Loss. The bestiary will help your Dungeon Master populate the Shadowfell (and the Fugue Plane) with more than 140 new statblocks, ranging all the way from CR 1/8 to CR 45, while players will be able to create new and exciting characters themed around the Shadowfell, with more than 140 new statblocks, ranging all the way from CR 1/8 to CR 45. On top of all that, players get all the tools they need to create new and exciting characters themed around the Shadowfell with new races, new subclasses, new spells, and more. This 250+ page tome includes everything you need to bring your campaign into the Shadowfell. Should you be afraid? Most definitely. Will your characters survive the horrors of the Shadowfell's endless night? That remains to be seen...
