THE BLACK ASCENDENCY: The Raven of Immortality, when It claims a warrior,
that warrior will transmutate into a Shadowlord. Some warriors are chosen at birth to have the abilities bestowed upon them while others are granted their
powers later in their adult lives. When a child is given such powers at birth, it is because of a decision by The Black Ascendency that such gifts will be needed
by the child as he grows to manhood. The powers are rarely handed down from father to son so it is not a right of inheritance that makes a Shadowlord. Despite what
one might think, when a son follows his father into the Ascendency of becoming a Shadowlord, his powers are not as strong as those of a boy who is given the abilities at birth --
abilities bestowed to protect him into adulthood.

Shadowlords are supernaturally adept beings with immense psychic abilities. They are very
powerful mages with superhuman abilities. When angered, they sometimes lose the abilities to control their powers. Those powers include: transvection (levitation),
Psychokinesis (manipulation of time, space, matter and energy), teleportation, clairvoyence, clairsentience, astral projection, and precognition among many others.
They draw power from the Megaverse.

There are three types of Shadowlords--each more powerful than the one before it: Shadowlords, Deathlords, and Ridgelords. Ridgelords
are the only magi powerful enough to fight the Nikkeson, the all-pervasive evil of the Megaverse. Though they can not kill
the demon, they can send it back to Its prison in the Abyss. Ridge is an acronym for Rectify, Intercede, Discipline, Govern, and Educate |
