Shadar-Kai (+1 Con/-1 Cha)
Shadar-Kai are a restricted race on Maelstrom. The rumored history of the Shadar-Kai place their origin to the failed attempt by the Raven Queen to ascend into divinity. It is believed the Shadar-Kai were the elves who agreed to participate in a ritual to pledge their souls and magic to their queen so she could attempt to reunify the elven pantheon. The ritual was corrupted by evil wizards who siphoned the queen and her followers into the Shadowfell, forever keeping the Shadar-Kai's souls bound to their queen.
