Shadow Vestiges are the remains of a defeated Shadow. 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.

On the path to the House of Healing, where the party can find Arabella, two Shadows are encountered.

  • You sense a matriarch's flush of pride - she will soon be a grandmother, and the child will bear her name, Muldred.
  • You sense a swell of grief. Before the shadows took her, this woman mourned someone lost in battle.
