You could apply, you just sent notes to any of the Shadow Immortals and ended up talking to Shadow mortals anyway. And defending the Shadow cabal well, sort of gave you away.

We're talking about the Shadow cabal now, right?

Um, that's still true. Top of that list would have to be the recently added and much loved nightgaunt attacks.

You don't now? We are talking about Carrion Fields, right?

Hope you get mine too, despite the fact that it's somewhat tongue in cheek.
