Shadows And You

Some wonder what are these shadows that follow us, what they want and who they are. The answer is, we don't know. Some of the Keeper claim they still see them while tending to other seekers, which is normal because the seekers are like magnets for shadows, as they seek knowledge. Studies say that the shadows don't want us to look for knowledge, because they don't want us to use their knowledge. After we understood how to work metals, brew drinks (some magical) and even kill their green minions, they got angrier as we began to seek. They are afraid we will see them, more than shadows. They are afraid that we will see their "light".

After we understood why they stalk us, how do we deal with them? The answer is pretty simple.

You should embrace them, be kind and light-hearted. Don't enrage them, they can do things that we can't even imagine, like the creation of the mighty Folkzaur. We need to tend to them, and not bash them away with torches. They might burn, but they will be back. Remember, they are everywhere, so don't gossip about them. If you hear voices, light your torch immediately as there are shadows that wish to kill you even if your intents are good. Build shrines for the shadows, and they will leave you alone, or even help you.

The tale of the crazed seeker.

Once there was Yoir, a close friend of Hawksen, the first seeker. Yoir was special, because he didn't listen to Hawksen, and he settled in without the ritual of the settling. He sat and build a house, but when the night came, wind blew his house down, leaving only dust. Yoir built another house, stronger and better one. When he closed his eyes to sleep, his house just collapsed! As he knew the rule of the magical 3, he did the settling ritual and then built a house, being sure his house won't die today. This night, the shadows looked at the house and at the sparkly runes protecting it. They just pushed the runes apart and blew the house down once again. Surprised Yoil became a seeker again because he knew he can't fight the shadows, and is a seeker to this date.
