The Shadowborn family is a family of charitable benefactors and doers of good deeds[1] as well as heroes, knights, and paladins featured in several products for the Ravenloft campaign setting lines. The Shadowborn themselves hail not from the Demiplane of Dread but rather from the outlander land of the Great Kingdom.[2] The family seems to bear a curse, for the story of the family is associated with the formation of the Shadowlands cluster[3] All of the darklords of the domains in said cluster at one time or another knew members of the Shadowborn family.[4]

Publication History

The Shadowborn name is mentioned in the Darklords sourcebook, where the basic outline of Kateri Shadowborn's conflict with the infamous demon Ebonbane is detailed. A map of the Shadowborn family home, Shadowborn Manor, is also given in that accessory. The information from the Darklords sourcebook was further fleshed out in the Dungeon Magazine module Bane of the Shadowborn[5], in which one of the player characters is a blood relative of Kateri chosen to destroy Ebonbane.[6] In addition, several more names of past Shadowborn family members are given in the family tomb description.[7] In the Islands of Terror, it is established that the fallen paladin, Elena Faith-hold, once was a companion of Kateri Shadowborn.[8]

The exploits of other Shadowborns were included in later accessories. The tragic story of Ferran Shadowborn and Aurora Shadowborn were included in the adventure module, A Light in the Belfry. In Domains of Dread[9] and then Champions of the Mists[10] (1998), Alexi Shadowborn is mentioned as having founded the Knights of the Shadows. The Shadowborn novel establishes the Shadowborn family's homeland as the Great Kingdom of Avonleigh and Alexi as the son of Kateri and the cousin and adopted older brother of Ferran and Aurora. The book is also a novelization of the Bane of the Shadowborn module and features Alexi as Kateri's chosen successor to hold Ebonbane.
