AOF - SHROUDBORNE V0.
BACKGROUND STORY
The Shroudborne are spectral echoes of those who have died within the
Shroud’s misty expanse, their souls cursed to roam eternally. In life, they
were warriors, hunters, rulers, and common folk. In death, the Shroud
has twisted them into vengeful apparitions bound to its will. To become a
Shroudborne is not merely to die—it is to be consumed by the Shroud
itself, your essence chained to its fragmented realms, forever wandering
in search of purpose that can never be fulfilled.
A Cursed Existence
When a soul perishes within the Shroud, it does not pass into the afterlife.
Instead, the mists claim it, chaining it to the spectral expanse. The
Shroudborne retain fragments of who they once were, but these
memories are distorted, reshaped into an unending torment. A warrior
might relive the horrors of their final battle, endlessly striking at
perceived foes, while a ruler might become a tyrant, forever enforcing
laws over a realm that no longer exists.
Their spectral forms are as varied as the lives they once led. Some appear
as flickering silhouettes, their edges dissolving into mist, while others are
twisted into monstrous shapes that reflect their torment. Chains often
bind their forms, a visible reminder of the Shroud’s grip on their essence.
These chains are not merely symbolic—they are extensions of the Shroud
itself, anchoring the Shroudborne to the mist and enforcing the will of
this malevolent realm.
Drawn to Magic
Shroudborne are irresistibly drawn to magic. The act of casting a spell or
wielding enchanted artifacts within the Shroud is like lighting a beacon in
INTRO
the darkness, attracting these spectral beings from the mist. To them,
magic is a lifeline, a fleeting memory of the power they once possessed,

Thank you for playing!
The Shroudborne are more than just monsters; they are a reflection of the
Shroud’s unrelenting grip on life and death. Each one tells a story of
tragedy and despair, a glimpse into the fragmented lives lost to the mists.
They are not mere hunters or predators but prisoners, their chains as
much a burden to them as a weapon against their prey. To see the
Shroudborne is to confront the inevitability of the Shroud’s power—a
force that consumes all, twisting even the brightest of souls into shadows
of what they once were.
