<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.

[[Panumbris Shadow]]s
: On death:
<font color=green>
::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your head momentarily, pulsating with hatred. You see a man fighting in the dark. He is staggering, bleeding. His luminous red sword swings, cleaving a Shadow in twain. But a greater darkness rises and stretches its wings. A small girl, trembling on the ground beside him, shrieks. The man whirls - but a hand coalesces from the night, and stabs into his chest. The girl scrambles away. As the man falls to his knees, the vision fades, leaving an echo of laughter in your mind.

::As the panumbris dies, darkness falls upon your vision. But in the blackness there is a light; a single flickering candle, held by a gaunt man, and sheltered from relentless rain by his other hand. The night around him writhes and whispers... but the vision fades.</font>

[[Umbris Shadow]]s
: On death:
<font color=green>
::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. You stand in a frigid downpour, among a crowd of thin and shivering people. Before you stands a fat, amber-eyed man in sumptuous robes, shielded from the rain by a glittering magical field. He shouts at the crowd, words you cannot comprehend, and thrusts a condemning finger at you again and again. As the vision fades, he gestures in supplication at the cloud-shrouded heavens.

::A shrieking, squealing noise fills your mind, pulsating with hatred. You find yourself standing on an unfamiliar shore. It is a blood-red dawn; the sort Viamont mariners say presage storms. A ripping noise rises, growing until it shakes the air around you. Birds cry, starting from the trees in terror. You raise your eyes to the horizon. Just above the green-blue sea, a black speck crosses the sun, trailing a great tongue of flame.

::You seem to hear unintelligible words as the Umbris falls... only the word "Daralet" is distinguishable.</font>

<font color=green>
::As the Panumbris dies, a vision overwhelms your mind. The great winged form of Bael`Zharon writhes and thrases, wracked by the assults of the humans who invaded his lair. At his last strength, something of Bael`Zharon, smoky and insubstantial, twists and worms its way to the center of the world as he shrieks and crumples.
