The Shadow

The Sovereign of Magic and Mayhem, The Shadow is the literal shadow of Aureon that attained sentience and godhood as a price paid by Aureon for arcane knowledge. A god of corruption, ambition, and dark magic, the Shadow is the patron of evil spellcasters and many monstrous races. Legend says if the Shadow and Aureon were reunited the age of civilized peoples would come to an end.
Typically depicted as a shadow, he is occasionally portrayed as a shadow dragon.
Among her array of twisted powers was the ability to see everything that lay or happened in the dark. THe Shadow was also the creator of the Shadow Weave, which was a counterpart and attack upon the Weave, controlled by Mystra, before both of the Weaves fell into ruin during the Spellplague.
