The Shadow King

Overview
Next to nothing is known about the Shadow King but many people believed him to be a false creation of The Midnight Company to imbue fear into those they affected. Due to this ambiguity as well as the fact that no reliable sources have risen saying that he has been seen, he is regarded as a myth. For those that believe in the existence of the Shadow King they say that he led The Midnight Company against The Combined Empire in the Battle for the Dawn. Few believe that he was the cause of the undead being raised as well as the overwhelming darkness in the sky and the torrential weather during the battle against the Combined Empire. Believers say that the Shadow King was finally beaten when the Gods intervened in the battle where they banished him to The Shadow Realm.

It is said that the Shadow King has total control over his loyal companions the Shadowwalkers, powerful undead magic users who aided the Midnight Company in the Battle for the Dawn, and leads them into battle. They also suggest that the Shadow King could be an evil God-like force focused into a single point harnessing a fraction of Annihilus' power that was created by the ritual that occurred on Ascendance Pillar or that the Shadow King is the re-established form of Misdek Wintersurge or Stakore Shadowwalker.
