Shadowthrone

Ammanas, King of High House Shadow - see also Kellanved

'a cloud of shadow was forming in the air, deepening and

thickening in its centre. A moment later it dissipated, and a black, shrouded, translucent figure stood in its place, hands tucked into its sleeves. Shadows commanded whatever face lay hidden beneath the hood.'(GotM, UK Trade, p.348-9)

'the figure seated there. It seemed composed of almost translucent shadows, vaguely human in form, but hooded, preventing even the glint of eyes.' (GotM, UK Trade, p.291)

Oponn(male): ‘Shadowthrone never plays fair' (GotM, UK Trade, p.497)

'Insubstantial, fading in an out of sight, smoky and wisp-threaded, Ammanas fidgeted onthe ancient Throne of Shadow. Eyes like polished haematite were fixed on the scrawny figure standing before it.' (BH UK Tpb, p.44)

Shadowthrone and the First Throne

Onrack cut in.  “This you must understand, Cotillion of Shadow.  Once, long ago by mortal standards, now, your companion found the First Throne.  He occupied it and so gained command over the T’lan Imass.  Even then, it was a tenuous grasp, for the power of the First Throne is ancient.  Indeed, its power wanes.  Shadowthrone was able to awaken Logros T’lan Imass -- a lone army, finding itself still bound to the First Throne’s remnant power due to little more than mere proximity.  He could not command Kron T’lan Imass, nor Bentract, nor Ifayle, nor the others that remained, for they were too distant.  When Shadowthrone last sat upon the First Throne, he was mortal, he was bound to no other aspect.  He had not ascended.  But now, he is impure, and this impurity ever weakens his command.  Cotillion, as your companion loses ever more substance, so too does he lose … veracity.”  (BH)
