The fetchling are descendants of humans who long ago became trapped on the Shadow Plane. Warped by the alien energies of the place, they became extremely slender in build, with stark white or black hair, and pale, yellow eyes. To combat their monochromatic nature, they often dye their hair with vivid colors acquired from plane-traveling merchants. As they are aware of their extraplanar origins, they often serve as middlemen between visitors to the Shadow Plane and its other native inhabitants. They make up nearly the majority of the great city of Shadow Absalom, although they do not rule it.
