In the less dense areas of the curse, it is possible to travel safely with any form of light, such as [[torch]]es or spells like {{SAI|Daylight}}. [[Isobel]] at the [[Last Light Inn]] can grant {{cond|Selûne's Blessing}} which will let characters traverse in the lesser areas without external sources of light. [[Shadowheart]] will be naturally immune to the curse in these areas, regardless of light sources.

[[Shadowheart]] will also feel the curse's effects less than other characters.  


In more dense areas, light will be snuffed out and it becomes necessary to bring a [[Moonlantern]], or have the {{cond|Pixie Blessing}}. Shadowheart's protection will no longer have any effect.

Before they became cursed, the Shadow-Cursed Lands were known as a refuge for followers of [[Selûne]]. [[Moonrise Towers]] itself, built by the Thorm family architect, was a symbol of devotion to Selûne .{{Ref|"My proudest work reached for the stars and sought to dry Selûne's tears." - [[Infernal Mason]]}} [[Ketheric]] and his family lived there happily for many years, until his daughter died, causing him to turn to [[Shar]] in grief.

As his last stand, Ketheric released his lady Shar's power upon the land in the form of the shadow curse. The curse split the land's spirit in two, trapping half of them in the [[Shadowfell]], the other half remaining in the cursed land. The land itself became twisted and necrotic, causing harm to any who ventured into it, and a cursed form of undeath to those who remained too long in the deepest reaches.

The two halves of the land spirit were [[Oliver]], who remained within the cursed land at the [[House in Deep Shadows]], and [[Thaniel]], who had been trapped in the Shadowfell. A [[Flaming Fist]] by the name of [[Art Cullagh]] had been sent to investigate the growing Sharran enclave in the area that had occurred prior to the curse,{{Ref|[[Flaming Fist Writ of Command]]}} also became trapped. There, he met Thaniel, and the two looked after one another.
