Shadow Sickness is a mental disease caused by either intense exposure to Shadowfell energies, or prolonged exposure to less intense energies.
About[edit | edit source]
Shadow Sickness that is inflicted by a powerful shadow creature also allows that creature to dominate and charm the target, taking control of their destroyed will. However, this side-effect of charm CAN be over-ridden by using other charming effects and powers, though it does not restore the creature to full health, just simply gives the "puppet strings" to another wielder.
Notable Outbreaks[edit | edit source]
The Umbral Flood[edit | edit source]
Tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of residents of Isonhound became inflicted with various levels of shadow sickness when the whole continent was plunged into the Shadowfell, creating Umbralhound.
Cure[edit | edit source]
Moon energies are known to cure Shadow Sickness, which can include potions brewed with Moonflowers, or help from a Moon Dragon or the Crystal Moonwell, an artifact of the moon clerics known as the Lunarans.
