Shadowbred (Twilight War) Review
Posted on May 26, 2008 by alanajoli
More than any other shared-world I know, the Forgotten Realms is home to evil protagonists. Shadowbred’s heroes fall ambiguously into this category: they are assassins, addicts, half-fiends, and shades. Erevis Cale, Chosen of Mask, is doing his best to be a hero, due to a promise gave to a dead friend in a previous adventure. The tiefling mind-mage Magadon strives to control his demonic urges, which are the only thing that keep him from being consumed by the Source, an artifact introduced in previous books. The two are sympathetic figures, striving against the odds to become people they don’t hate.
