As the crowd dispersed at the Luna Fireworks show last night, there was a mysterious ghost on the stairs (on Lake Superior.) His name was The Shadow [Shad]. Passersby tried to rez him but he vanished. When he reappeared everyone could hear his words instead of the ooOOooOOo of the usual departed.

He told us we should embrace the Anti-Virtues and sign a book he had with him.
I tried to take pics of all he said, but I missed a few. He said "Soon the Stygian Abyss will be opened." "And the fires you see tonight will pale in comparison!" "For soon all that is good in the realm will come to an end!"

When questioned he kept hinting that something would happen in Jhelom in two days hence. Ninjas would attack with the power of Destard. He charged those of us who saw him to spread the word to the realm. He did answer our questions in a very cryptic way and when we told him the Virtues would guide us he seemed to get a bit angry and more explosions surrounded us.

Did anyone anywhere else see this guy? Just wondering.

I have a couple pics of him that I took, but I am new to posting here and dont know how to get them up.

I wasn't there, but I have run into The Shadow before.
You can rest assured that where He goes, excitement, adventure, and danger are soon to follow.

I hear he mostly haunts Chesapeake and Lake Superior, though as shifty, and intelligent as he is, it wouldn't surprise me in the least for him to be seen elsewhere as he is known to travel.

If I were you, I would take his advice when it comes to the anti-virtues.

That would be The Shadow, a long-standing role-played villain on the LS shard.

His player and his player's friends are very good at manipulating game mechanics, a necessary skill since Seers and the like don't exist anymore (and one I never mastered as a role-player).




For more information about The Shadow and his long history on LS, visit The Stratics LS Forum, and UOLS.net.

(Though technical problems have hounded UOLS.net for awhile now, and 2 years of board activity were recently lost.)

He's also been mentioned once on UO.com in this article.

The fellow you saw afterwards ragging on The Shadow and implying that if you joined up with The Shadow he would kill you sooner or later was me.

Welcome to RP.
