In this adventure, the shrouds are Memorian citizens who died when restless undead spirits appeared after Memoria’s leaders performed a ritual to bridge the gap between the living and the dead. When the leaders sealed the restless spirits of the undead in the Oubliette, a demiplane between the Shadow Ream and Midgard, they inadvertently sealed the spirits of the Memorian citizens as well. Many of these citizens are now shrouds, lost, confused, and not wholly aware of their fate as they endlessly wander the Oubliette. The PCs are being followed: a shroud, born of one of the sudden deaths of the Memorians, silently trails them. Shroud, Maddened Shroud, Remnants of a Memorian: ?Spectral Memory, Memorian Specter: Spectral memories aren’t formed by force, but rather at a convergence of memory loss combined with an inability to move on to the afterlife.

These were Stefanya, Nevena, and Ivon, former pillars of Memoria and the spirits the PCs can use to empower the light of Memoria. While not forced into undeath, the three were nonetheless trapped souls. The Oubliette took a toll on them. The permeation of rage and grief combined with the constant replaying of their worst memories, and, over time, their identities fragmented. They became spectral memories, starved for their abandoned identities. Nevena made it a few feet from the portal before she died, overwhelmed by shrieking specters.

Fire bursts on the creature’s side, and you see Ivon stagger away from a pack of shadows. He is withered and drained; the wraith turns to him in rage, but Ivon looks to you. “We can’t hold them,” he rasps, and then he is lost beneath a sea of shadows.
