Shadowfen
Region	Celestial Plains (border with Verdant Vale and Eldritch Wastes)
Notable for	Proximity to the Whispering Woods, alchemical trade
Conclave presence	Temple, local clergy
Notable native	Althorn Lightbearer

Shadowfen is a town at the southeastern corner of the Celestial Plains, sitting at the convergence of three regions — the Celestial Plains, the Verdant Vale, and the Eldritch Wastes. It lies on a branch road that connects to the main trade route between the Plains and the Vale, placing it somewhat off the beaten path. It is not a major commercial hub, but its position near the border of the Whispering Woods gives it a character that most comparable towns lack — a certain awareness of what lies beyond the treeline, and a population accustomed to keeping their heads down.

The Luminous Conclave maintains a temple here with local clergy. A mission board at the temple serves as the town's informal hub for contracted work.

Shadowfen is the hometown of Sir Althorn Lightbearer.

Notable Residents and Figures

Thalindor

An alchemist and consultant to the Luminous Conclave, specialising in the creation of healing potions and other alchemical preparations. Thalindor is the reason the Lumina Cell was initially dispatched to Shadowfen — he required Dragon Root, a rare herb that grows only near dragon lairs in the Dragonspire Mountains, as a key ingredient in his work. He provided the cell with a teleportation scroll for direct transit into the mountains, a map, and a magical amulet for the return journey.

Grimwald the Sage

A scholar with a particular interest in ancient ruins and artefacts. During the cell's stay, Grimwald contracted them to retrieve the Orb of Eldritch Sight from a set of ruins in the Dragonspire Mountains. In exchange, he provided access to his private library.

The Lumina Cell's Operations in Shadowfen

The Lumina Cell visited Shadowfen in 587 LE in connection with missions into the Dragonspire Mountains and an investigation in the surrounding area.

The Dragonspire Mission

Dispatched to Shadowfen by Sir Althorn Lightbearer, the cell used Thalindor's teleportation scroll to travel directly into the Dragonspire Mountains. There they retrieved the Dragon Root from a cave guarded by young wyverns, and additionally located the ancient ruins sought by Grimwald. Navigating traps and draconic puzzles, they recovered the Orb of Eldritch Sight — which, upon being touched, granted the cell a shared vision whose contents were redacted from the official report forwarded to Elira Dawnstar by Althorn.

While in the mountains the cell also encountered Elandrial, a silver dragon and descendant of the ancient dragon Tel'Vorath, whose bones rested nearby. Elandrial gifted the cell the Heart of Tel'Vorath — a crystallised magical artefact formed from the dragon's remains over centuries — and offered his friendship. Upon returning to Shadowfen, the Dragon Root was delivered to Thalindor and the Orb to Grimwald. Tel'Vorath's heart was subsequently collected by Althorn on behalf of the Conclave.

It was also during this visit that Carver was introduced to the cell for the first time, joining temporarily before being formally assigned.

The Whispering Forest

During the same stay, the cell undertook a short contract for the local guard — investigating the Whispering Forest, a woodland near Shadowfen from which villagers had gone missing. Inside, they found themselves trapped in what appeared to be a nightmare: every attempt to leave the forest returned them to the same clearing. They fought a Wight commanding a group of revenants, and a nightmare plant that blocked the exits. Upon defeating both, they were able to leave — and returned with a gift of the forest.

-'''Shadowfen''' is a town in the [[Celestial Plains]], situated near the border of the [[Dragonspire Mountains]]. It is a working settlement of modest size — no grand institutions or landmarks, but well-placed on trade routes that pass between the mountains and the more populous cities of the Plains. Its proximity to the Dragonspire Mountains makes it a natural staging point for expeditions into that range, and the town has a small but established community of scholars, traders, and specialists who service such work.

 === Thalindor ===
-An alchemist and consultant to the [[Luminous Conclave]], specialising in the creation of healing potions and other alchemical preparations. The cell's first mission to Shadowfen was undertaken on his behalf. Thalindor required a rare herb — '''Drachenwurz''' — that grows only in proximity to dragon lairs in the [[Dragonspire Mountains]]. He provided the cell with a teleportation scroll for direct transit to the mountains, a map to the relevant locations, and a magical amulet for the return journey.

-=== First Visit — The Dragonspire Mission ===
-The cell was dispatched to Shadowfen to assist Thalindor. Using his teleportation scroll, they entered the Dragonspire Mountains and retrieved the Drachenwurz from a cave guarded by young wyverns. While in the mountains they also encountered '''Elandrial''', a silver dragon — the descendant of an ancient dragon named '''Tel'Vorath''' whose bones rested nearby. Elandrial gifted the cell the crystallised heart of Tel'Vorath, a potent magical artefact, and offered his friendship.
-The cell additionally located the ancient ruins sought by Grimwald, navigating traps and draconic puzzles to recover the Orb of Eldritch Sight. Contact with a second, dark-pulsing orb within the ruins produced a shared vision — the contents of which were redacted from the official report forwarded to [[Lady Elira Dawnstar]] by [[Althorn Lightbearer|Sir Althorn Lightbearer]].

-=== Second Visit — The Whispering Forest ===
+=== The Whispering Forest ===
-During a subsequent stay, the cell investigated the '''Whispering Forest''' — a woodland to the west of Shadowfen from which villagers had gone missing. Inside, they encountered a landscape that seemed to resist navigation: every attempt to leave returned them to the same forest clearing. The source of the disturbance was an undead knight commanding a group of revenants, alongside a large carnivorous plant that blocked the exits. The full resolution of the investigation is not recorded here.
