Shadows (Kingofevil9)

Information
Shadows are the inhabitants and main attack force of the Shadowrealm. They are creatures formed through either dark magic or organisms being corrupted with shadow essence. They follow the orders of Delanis and his Warriors of Darkness, following any command they receive. They are also the most unknown and mysterious creatures in the Multiverse, as no one has seen them since the Shadow Wars. However, survivors of the war have described them as "vicious, bloodthristy creatures" to be spewed out of the depths of the Multiverse.

History
While most of their history is unknown, an old native legend has said that the Shadows and the Shadowrealm itself were created after an event known as the Dark Cataclysm. This event describes that over 40,000 years ago, a dark priest attempted to perform a spell that would give him the power to control darkness itself. The spell worked, however, it backfired and the priest ended up merged into the dark magic, becoming the Shadowrealm and the Shadows served as his minions that followed his every order. He soon began abusing this power and losing the last humanity he had, so he declared that he would choose one Shadow to become the king of the Shadowrealm after the priest died. He chose the first king who took up command after all of the priest's thoughts, memories, and humanity was consumed by the darkness. This ceremony would go on for the next 35,000 years until Delanis was consumed by the Shadowrealm's influence and became the next Shadow King. He would then go on to make the Multiverse one with the darkness, but was stopped by Kelris after he sealed the Shadowrealm, Shadows, Delanis, and himself off from the rest of the Multiverse. 500 years later, The Shadowrealm would return and Delanis and his army would make their move on the Multiverse once more, with only the Protectors of The Light, Sentinel Task Force, and Task Force Gamma standing in their way.
