While not physically as imposing as the other assassins of the realms, those which choose to walk down the Way of Stealth and follow the Path of Essence depend on their quick reactions, stealth, speed and sharp wit to combat the enemies of the Hibernian Realm. To assist in the endeavors, the Nightshade Elders have developed and passed down a few magical baubles that grow in strength as the Nightshade becomes more acquainted with his repertoire of skills. In addition to the more common means that Nightshades use to dispatch their foes, they freely practice the skill and art to poisoned weaponry and then turn these deadly blades upon their enemies. As their name would imply, there are certain Nightshades who are renowned for the unusual potency of these poisons.

They are the stalkers of the night, that can strike quickly and efficiently from concealment, using poisons and a touch of magic to help fell their opponents.
