::As it falls the Shadow hisses, "The Thorns shall rip the heart from the dust-town".

::You think you hear a voice say, "You can't...stop...change"

::As it falls, the Shadow blinks its blood red eyes. You seem to hear a tired voice say "Have you seen my Lord Atlan? What happened after the watchfires went out.. ?"

::The dying Shadow shudders and murmurs something in a language you do not recognize. It looks upon its dark, ethereal hands, and its eyes widen in shock. It begins to shriek in horror, and does not stop until, with a gurgle, it falls still.

::The Shadow hisses in fury, and in your mind you hear the words "I have touched a power you cannot begin to fathom! Give yourself to it as I once did... you will be mighty among your kind."

::A hate filled voice tells you, "The One is almost upon you...the stars begin to fall..."</font>

[[Shadow Lieutenant]]s

::You seem to hear the fading thought, "The heretics must be stopped..."

::You seem to hear the fading thought, "My loyalty shall stay with you, my General."

::You seem to hear the fading thought: "He waits still... but not much longer... The One calls for haste..."

::You seem to hear the fading thought, "The assassin is ours now! You will never get your cursed armor again - he shall see to it."</font>

[[Panumbris Shadow]]s
: On death:
<font color=green>
::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. For a moment, you are overwhelmed by the impression of something vast, cold, and black, squirming noisomely.

::The Shadow-woman's ember eyes blink once, and she utters a few words in a harsh, croaking language you do not recognize. In your mind, a tired female voice seems to say, "I am free, mother priestess. I come to you anon."

::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. For a moment, you seem to see the land from above, crisscrossed with blazing currents of light.

::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. For a moment, you seem to see through the very ground... and the lightless heart of the world seems to stir.</font>

[[Umbris Shadow]]s
: On death:
<font color=green>
::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. For a moment, you have a vision of a great manta-winged form, held to the ground by glistening tendrils. The beast's pale lantern-eyes flash, and its luminous tail thrashes as it struggles beneath the cold stars. A black mist rises up, and its flesh ripples and sloughs away, leaving a twisted spine and skull hovering over the ground. Your mind is pierced by an familiar, swirling howl of agony, and the vision shatters.

::A shrieking squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. you find yourself moving standing in a vast, steaming mire, shadowed by the fronds of enormous ferns. Before you, three women stand in a ring, chanting. There are beads and feathers woven into their dark hair, and all have marble green eyes. The murky water between them heaves and flows upwards, but the vision dissolves before you can see more.

::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. Your sight dims and blurs. You find yourself moving among a crowd of gaunt figures, wrapped in tattered robes and trudging through heavy rain. The sky shows no sun, moon, or stars - only an impenetrable, eternal night. The figure at the head of the crowd halts suddenly, and shouts into the darkness. The hallucination fades.

::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. For a moment, you are overwhelmed by the impression of corruption and putrescence. It fades quickly, leaving you nauseous and shaken.

::You seem to hear unintelligible words as the Umbris falls... only the word "Palacost" is distinguishable.

::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. For a moment, you seem to the land from above. There are three areas that seem to lie in shadow... but the vision fades before you can pinpoint them.</font>
