Eldritch Shadow

The general view of Warlocks, in most areas of most civilization, is that they are evil, demented, demon worshippers who want nothing more than to cause chaos and destruction where ever they go. Contrary to this popular belief, Warlocks did not choose to have the heritage that bestows the powers they possess to them. Even so, they are mistreated and looked down upon almost everywhere, and because of this many Warlocks have devoted themselves to hiding amongst those that would banish them or lynch them. This adaptation to civilized angst towards them has helped Warlocks learn secrets of their heritage and the underworkings of the "other" side of the law.
