Dark Aberrant Kin

Dark Aberrant Kin

Dark aberrations were summoned to the world as a result of combined efforts between the forces of dark magic. Since the near sundering of the barrier between the Veiled Lands and Shadowfell, the portals between were kept fairly in check. A group of powerful magic users maintained the barriers where irrevocable cracks lingered. However, the whispers of the shadows infected a few, along with encroaching dark forces on this side of the barrier, intent on releasing chaos from the world of darkness. They murdered the gatekeepers on their shift and broke open one of the cracks. Like they warn about cracks in pottery, the crack spread and released the dark aberrations. These creatures, lurkers mainly at the fringe of Shadowfell, were not grateful to their saviors and wounded many of them before fleeing and spreading through the Veiled Lands, where they are said to live to this day.
