Child of the Darkness was a Shadowlands power which made the tainted individual feel at home in the Shadowlands. It granted them an odd feeling of kinship with the creatures that lived there, and they returned the sentiment. The person would not be attacked by natural Shadowlands creatures unless they threatened them first, and they might even obey commands if communicated with. What a Shadowlands creature percieved as a threat, however, was entirely different from creature to creature.
