Background: Shade Fanatic

Source: State of Hillsfar

You grew up at a time when the wizards of Netheril were at war with the elves of Cormanthor. You recall sitting crosslegged hearing the stories of the glorious Thultanthar, also called the Shade Enclave and the City of Shade, and aspired to study there and maybe even did, for a time. Your dreams came crashing down a few years ago when Thultanthar fell from the sky upon Myth Drannor.

You know that there was a Netherese Garrison stationed near Hillsfar and have heard rumors that its downfall came from traitors within the ranks. You remain loyal to Netheril and seek other Shade loyalists and fanatics in the Cormanthor forest and the areas surrounding Hillsfar.

## Feature: Secret Society

You have a special way of communicating with others who feel the same way you do about the Shade. When you enter a village or larger city you can identify contacts who will give you information on those that would hinder your goals and those would help you simply because of your desire to see the Shade Enclave return in all its glory.
