Spirit of Shadowforge

The Spirit of Shadowforge is one of the Dark Iron Thanes found in the Athenaeum in Blackwing Descent.

He is the spirit of Iron Thane Shadowforge, who was by all accounts a cruel despot who tortured and killed many of his own people. He is generally held to have been a warlock, but some accounts cling to the rumor that he was one of the first dwarven shaman. The latter notion is supported by the spirit's use of Chain Lightning.

Shadowforge's family has left a long stain on Dark Iron history. They share their name with Shadowforge City, the Dark Iron capital. Shadowforge's Lightbound Smock is named after the thane.

• He uses the abilities of all Dark Iron Thanes who have been defeated before him.
