The shadowen are a race of beings from the underworld. They lack a three
dimensional physical body, but do have a three dimensional image. Because of
this they are resistant to bashing; there is little substance to hit. However
placing a weapon into the substance (i.e. slashing or piercing) works as well
as on other solid creatures. The shadowen have grown in a world with very
little light. As a result, they have developed natural dark vision,
infravision, and the ability to detect hidden prey. However, they are
vulnerable to light which effectively shuts down their sensual input. They
also tend to be evil which makes them vulnerable to holy magics. These
creatures possess superior intelligence and great dexterity. They are superb
thieves and mages. Drow and Shadowen have a long standing, favorable
relationship
