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]
