| | The Fraternity of Shadows can refer to: |
| The Fraternity of Shadows was described in ''[[Domains of Dread]]'' as a Neutral Evil secret society of wizards dedicated to discovering the secrets of Ravenloft. Only neutral evil male wizards who can cast illusion spells are allowed membership, and the upper echelons of the society are composed entirely of illusionists.<sup>1</sup> The daughter of ? was allowed to join however, although it is unclear whether this is an exception or a precedent. Members of the Fraternity identify themselves by their possession of a signet ring in the shape of two intertwining asps whose mouths form the setting for an onyx; this ring can cast a ''darkness 15' radius'' spell once per day. | |

| In ''[[Van Richten's Arsenal]]'' it was revealed that the leaders of the Fraternity are known as the Umbra, and that Lord Balfour de Casteelle, president of the University of [[Dementlieu]], is one of the Umbra. In ''[[Gazetteer II]]'' "[[S]]" reveals that her attempt to join the Fraternity was rebuffed because of her gender, and that the [[Brautslava Institute]] in [[Darkon]] is a center of the Fraternity's power.
