Shadow Vestiges are the remains of a defeated Shadow or Wraith. Rather than being traditional loot, these vestiges are glowing balls that produce banter when clicked on, providing a glimpse into the life each Shadow lived before they were transformed by the shadow curse.

List of vestiges

Ruined Battlefield

Near X: -40 Y: -110, two Shadows are encountered accosting Rolan.

  • She was a healer, trying to aid the wounded in the battle against the Sharrans. But there were so many...
  • You sense that this one was once a fisherman, taught by his father.

Two more vestiges sit nearby at X: -40 Y: -117 andX: -32 Y: -100, presumed to have been destroyed by Rolan himself.

  • X: -32 Y: -100: You see an old boot, balanced upside down on a cobbler's knee, as he taps the final nail into the new sole. Good as new.
  • X: -40 Y: -117: You sense a faded memory of marching in an army against Ketheric Thorm. Victory seemed possible back then.

Reithwin Town

Near the heart of the town at X: 152 Y: -40, three Shadows are encountered.

  • An older man turns his head away in shame. His neighbors would not renounce Selûne - now they hang in the town square.
  • You feel a rush of outrage. This woman worshipped Shar to the end - so why does the Nightsinger's curse not spare her...?
  • You see a man drain his tankard in an inn as he listens to a Flaming Fist play the lute. He's better than his uniform might suggest
    • If the player met Art Cullagh, this line follows: You catch a glimpse of the lute-playing Flaming Fist. It's the catatonic man you encountered in Last Light Inn.
