=Origins= {{Quote|...Thus did the war rage on between the Shi'dae and their Fae oppressors. ''"Never shall we bear the yoke of servitude to your power!" shouted [[Arthyx]], brother of [[Morgwyl]], above the din of battle. In that moment, Arthryx's squire Kaen, in league with the oppressor did plunge his poisoned dagger into the back of his half-brother, and sworn Lord.'' ''There Arthyx fell, and with him the magical protections and reinforcement of the Shi'dae warriors. Soon routed, his noble forces were encircled on the Plain of Yarbo, and there Morgwyl did surrender to the host of the Fae...'' ''...Before the gathered tribunal Morgwyl stood, proud and unbent. "We shall not submit to a return to second-class citizens! We would rather leave this beautiful realm of light so darkened by your oppression, and depart to a realm of darkness with the light of freedom." Morgwyl then took her leave of the tribunal, to the astonishment of them all.'' ''Gathering the whole host of the Shi'dae, she bound a tremendous [[gate]] to the [[Realm of Shadow]]. And so with heads unbowed they departed for the blasted heaths of the broken [[Zatur]].'' ''When the last member of the Shi'dae host passed the threshold of the gate, Morgwyl turned to close it. Before she would do so, she shouted so that all looking on could hear, a curse and a threat that echoes in every Shi'dae heart.'' ''"Make strong your wards Fae'ri! And build high your walls! Train well your conscripts! For we shall return to claim our birth-right, and when we do we shall spare not one who opposed us! Even to the babe on the breast shall we slaughter you until none remain! You are all cursed for this great injustice! Know you that you have brought this on youself!"'' ''And with that the gate was closed...'' ''...In the fullness of time did the Council of Nine, led by Morgwyl assembled, saying to themselves, "Indeed the perils of the dark are more formidable than we once imagined. So too then must we exceed in cleverness to cloak our bodies in darkness to hide us in the shadows.'' ''So a great magic was wrought, and sacrifices of beast and blood were made to Shivanyx, he who is called death. And a darkened wave spread across the race of Shi'dae, marking new color upon their flesh and hair to match the shadows and confound the eyes of the beasts and creatures of the dark.''| [[The Black Book of Morgwyl]], Chapter 3: 5-7a, 13b-17a , Chapter 15: 9b-10|}}
