Shadowborne

Unlike The Hightowers, the Shadowborne seek to use magic for their own personal gain. Yet, similarly they came together to share their knowledge and practice stronger, more powerful magic to shift the world to their whims.

History
Rumour has it that the Shadowborne were originally a group of young wizards who were toying around with prohibited magic and accidentally summoned a God of Chaos. The god promised them power beyond their wildest dreams in exchange for doing as the god demanded. They agreed but the power was too much for their mortal bodies, killing each of them on the spot. Yet, their souls lived on to corrupt weak willed casters who had strong energies.

While their origin story may be nothing more than a rumour that has grown with each telling, to call the existence of the Shadowborne a rumour would be much more amiss. While The Gold Helms and The Hightowers do what they can to sweep the existence of this faction under the proverbial rug, it is hard to dismiss some events as mere coincidence or as a one off event. When zombies are raised en masse or when mass sacrifices happen at different points around the world at the same time, people tend to ask questions to which there is only one answer - the Shadowborne.

Philosophy
Power above all else is all that matters to the Shadowborne. While some factions may yearn for power and will do what they can to attain it, the Shadowborne will go so far as to sacrifice their own lives if it means tasting true power for even a second. This thirst for power leads them to go even further than the other factions would even dream of going.

As far as the Shadowborne are concerned, to die with power is infinitely better than living without.
