| - The Shadow Hall was originally founded by Ura Blackstone as a safe haven for thieves and murderers. While the less-than-reputable are still welcome amongst them, the shade also welcomes anyone simply needing a home. The Shadows have been described as a terrifying, yet friendly bunch and their appearance in mass at public events and, occasionally, conflicts made public, isn't unlikely. More than one dispute amongst guilds has escalated because someone sought to involve the shadows. Ura is quick to declare neutrality and issue death threats should such an event arise, and it has proven a trustworthy tactic as the guild has outlived so many others. They aren't opposed to serving as the villains of the Alliance, though they take a neutral stance more often than not. They prefer to protect their own before offering aid to those outside the hall. They are self-serving to the end, putting their own needs above those of the Alliance. More than once, warrants have been issued and the shade have found themselves banished from the major cities, playing a waiting game with the Guards. Almost by magic, though, their crimes are forgotten soon enough and their familiar keyhole is once again seen roaming the streets. While gaining admittance to the Hall can be difficult, most would describe the struggle as worthwhile. One must take the risk of angering the guard by asking around for shadows, and then hope that word gets back to them that you are interested. Even then, it could simply be decided that they aren't willing to risk their necks for you, or have no interest in welcoming more into their fold. According to Ura the Hall is "a family first and foremost." They have been known to go to great lengths to protect their members, even if it puts more of their own in danger. The group, as a whole, is slow to trust, quick to celebrate, and even quicker to draw weapons and prepare defenses. They have perfected the 'bunker down' mentality, retreating to it's safe havens whenever something looks dangerous in order to regroup and later appear in full force. They aren't above intimidation or simple threats. It isn't an uncommon thing to spot someone bearing their keyhole in Stormwind, laughing at the guard's nervous glares and enjoying a cup of ale. Formed over four years ago the hall has endured a great deal. The shadows are a tough bunch and it takes a great deal to set them back even a small amount. Having survived everything from internal attacks, being watched by both the Stormwind Guard and the Argent Dawn, having their home destroyed (several times,) having key members thrown in the stocks and having one of their leaders pass away, The Shadow Hall is still going strong.
