Shadar-kai

The shadar-kai are elven servants bound to the Raven Queen, mostly dwelling with her in the Shadowfell. Though never stepping within the Fortress of Memories (where the Raven Queen live), they reenact old rituals and ceremonies, and act on her behalf, devoting their souls to their queen. The shadar-kai are immortal in her service, knowing that death is a temporary state and they will be resurrected in the Shadowfell shortly after to continue their service to the Queen. The Raven Queen captures their souls upon death and returns them to life to forever serve her purpose. Within the Shadowfell, they are old, withered and worn. However, when they travel to other planes, they appear as youthful and vibrant, though with pale skin that is unique and an indication of their true nature.
