Lord Shadow

Lord Shadow (whose real name is unknown) was a student of Lord Karsus in Netheril.

Background
Lord Shadow wrote a treatise on the exploration and exploitation of other planes, in particular the Plane of Shadow. Although the treatise advocated the use of slave labour from the Plane of Shadow as well as using it as a place to store garbage, Lord Shadow began to love the plane and its responsiveness to his magic. He prepared and executed an experiment in which his entire enclave would be transported to the plane and back.

Although the transportation of the enclave to the Plane of Shadow was successful, the casting of Karsus's Avatar and the ensuing temporary downfall of magic meant that the return trip was not possible for weeks. Upon their eventual return, the residents of the enclave found death and destruction, and blamed the phaerimms. They returned the enclave to the Plane of Shadow, forming the city of Shade. They have since been planning their revenge.
