Who are the shadow guard you may be asking this right now. Well to put it simple. The Shadow Guard are in essence Assassins. Who's soul purpose is to guard and protect the Queen and the Nightskye family at all costs. What does this mean? Well Its rather simple. Any person posing a threat to the Queen, is swiftly, and without hesitation eliminated. They are highly trained, lethal, stealthy killing machines. Their loyalty is without question. Even when their actions can be considered treasonous, it is done out of protection of the Queen, and Nightskye family. They are trained and conditioned from nearly the time of birth, for this mission. Their mental training has been designed and developed over thousands of years, to block all attempts at mind control. They are conditioned to absolute loyalty. No Shadow Guard has ever been able to act against a member of the Nightskye family for which their binding oath has been given. Even when having faced even the most powerful of Psionicists. All Shadow Guards are of the Shadow Elven race.

Shadow Elves share many common aspects of the Drow, though they are far from from being Dark Elven. Their skin tones resemble the grey tones of a shadow during the day, their hair runs closely in their colors, though ranging from white, to dark black, the eyes though are always a cold steel silver. In color. Their original development is unknown to all but a very select few within the race.
