The Shadow of the Hollow

Appearance: The Shade is an intangible and shifting apparition that appears over the river during rare celestial events when the three moons of Eavaros align in a particular formation. It's a silhouette of shimmering, ghostly energy, reflecting the hues of the moons above – a haunting mix of silver, blue, and red. The form is humanoid but elongated and distorted, with wisps of shadowy essence trailing off into the night sky, creating an otherworldly and ominous presence.

Origins: The Shade is believed to be a relic of the time when the Source was implanted into the world over a thousand years ago. It's a manifestation of residual cosmic energy, a fragment of the past that lingers in the present. Some say it's the lost spirit of an ancient guardian of the Source, bound to the river where the power of the Source flows strongest. Others believe it to be an echo of a forgotten deity or a warning from the cosmos itself.

Behaviour: The Shade of the Hollow doesn't interact physically with the world around it, but has a profound psychic and emotional impact on those who witness it. It's said to bring visions of the past and future, revealing truths long buried and portents of what's to come. The Shade is neither malevolent nor benevolent; it simply is – a force of the universe that defies full understanding.
