An Isparian cult on Dereth who worship the Living Shadow and seek to gain power from it. They are enemies of both Knights of the Golden Flame and the Shagar Zharala, the Zharalim. These facts seem to hint at a Milantos origin, but that is unconfirmed. They are trying to lure unwitting humans to be sacrifices for the shadows. One of their victims is Bewren, who was turned into a shadow after being betrayed by his brother Jaeget. Because of his skills with curing hides and crafting, Jaeget was set to work with Olthoi Acid, and slowly but steadily lost interest in everything.
