Oblivion shades are incorporeal undead manifestations of entropy that serve the Devourer.

Ecology

Oblivion shades arise when an evil creature dies in utter nihilism and rises again as undead. They are capable of disintegrating matter with a touch and raising their victims as oblivion shade spawn, which are bound to their will and lack the ability to create more spawn of their own.

Society

Most oblivion shades are devotees of the Devourer, serving as soldiers or mystics within the Cult of the Devourer. A few create their own sects consisting of the spawn they raised from innocent victims, which other Devourer cultists call 'invisible choirs' and look upon with awe.
