Shades

In most of the world, shades are a myth. They're something that goes bump in the night - something to make the most talented apex predator in the known universe feel fear. In Six Crosses? They're your neighbors, your teachers, your lovers, your own thoughts.

“Shade” is a broad name for the timeless beings that inhabit the low plane. While shades usually require summoning and naming to exist on the mid plane, Six Crosses is unique in its ability to sustain them in the wild. While there is rampant speculation among the town’s enlightened about the reason shades are at home in Six Crosses, no one has ever been able to test any of the theories, including the shades themselves.
