I'm also thinking of shadow magic items, and shadow constructs made to guard certain places. Naturally, the Gray Ones would be very, very curious about the blackflame. Good thoughts! Thanks for bringing them up. Relations between the Gray Circle and halflings could be a love-hate affair, depending on who approaches a clan, and how. There's room for variety here.Bruce Heardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929476133092132896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752010860639064233.post-5586212260447047872012-08-09T14:08:50.337-05:002012-08-09T14:08:50.337-05:00Wow!

Very intriguing, everything. <br /><br />Could possibly the beasts from the Well of Shadows have powers similar to these ones? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_people<br /><br />I may figure out that when a solar eclipse happens to hit Eadrin's territory then the shadow Lord could greatly boost their powers, or something very odd might happen in the Well of Shadows...<br /><br />What about Shadow Lords relationships with halflings? I suppose the most unscrupulous Lords would try to put their hands on any blackflame, or on the shadowy artifacts it creates. Stoutfellow and Eadrin diplomatic ties could be pretty strained (lots of work for thieves and adventurers...)<br /><br />Great work! :)LoZompatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531087744841747217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752010860639064233.post-28728463151131096012012-08-09T13:33:49.169-05:002012-08-09T13:33:49.169-05:00Thanks, Jeff.
