#1 avrilmalidor Apr 02, 2008 11:38:54	I am looking for information on the Shadow Thieves of Amn. Anyone know of 2e books or other sources of information on them?
#2 rinonalyrna_fathomlin Apr 02, 2008 12:26:56	Lands of Intrigue, which is available as a free download.
#3 jiggawha_dup Apr 02, 2008 12:31:33	Cloak and Dagger has twelve pages about them
#4 sfdragon Apr 02, 2008 13:39:49	did wizards and rogues of faerun have anything on them?
#5 avrilmalidor Apr 02, 2008 14:24:18	Thanks for the info. My main reason is I was reading City of Splendors and saw that Alauneth Black Viper something something was a Shade. I thought only dedicated and loyal members to Shadovar could be 'gifted' and become a shade. Anyone know why this occurred?
#6 jiggawha_dup Apr 02, 2008 14:52:18	The Shadow Thieves have struck a bargain with the Shadovar of the City of Shade, in which select members of the guild are transformed into shades. In exchange, the Shadow Thieves spy on Waterdeep and the Sword Coast on the behalf of the princes of Shade. pg. 68 I don't like that, Marune could've independently discovered the ritual

I thought only dedicated and loyal members to Shadovar could be 'gifted' and become a shade. Anyone know why this occurred? or anyone they deemed worthy of it
#8 avrilmalidor Apr 02, 2008 17:06:21	Thanks Jiggawha, that pretty much solves my dilemma.

I thought only dedicated and loyal members to Shadovar could be 'gifted' and become a shade. Anyone know why this occurred? Well, Erevis Cale isn't a Shadovar or loyal to them, yet he became a shade through special circumstances. Therefore, I don't see why someone else couldn't become a shade through other special circumstances.

#11 old_sage Apr 02, 2008 19:28:17	did wizards and rogues of faerun have anything on them? No. You may be thinking of the entries for the Shadowcloaks and Shadow Walkers.
#12 dave_the_DM Apr 04, 2008 18:20:14	Too funny. I asked the same question just days ago on Dragonsfoot. Cloak and Dagger is great. You can download it at www.rpgnow.com for $5.
