SORROWSWORN
The Shadowfell's pervasive melancholy sometimes gives
rise to strange incarnations of the plane's bleak nature.
The sorrowsworn embody the forms of suffering that
are inherent to the shadowy landscape, and they visit •
horror on those who stumble into their midst.
Emotion Given Form. Each sorrowsworn personifies
a different aspect of despair or distress. Some are man-
ifestations of anger; others are loneliness given physical
form. Their nature provides a clue both to understand-
ing how they become more powerful and to overcoming
them. Giving in to the negative emotions that the sor-
rowsworn represent causes these entities to grow dead-
lier. Fighting against these emotions can weaken them
and drive them away.

THE ANGRY
Relying on violence to sustain their existence, the An-
gry grow more powerful when their foes fight back. If a
creature opts not to attack, though, the Angry becomes
confused, and its attacks weaken. Each of the Angry has
two heads, which bicker with each other until they find
something else on which they can vent their wrath.
