Description
Nobles and powerful templars snub Nibenay's lowest ranking templar-wives, calling them "shadow brides" and mocking their barren beds and trivial stations in the kingdom's governance. Shadow brides frequently become pawns in the city-state's vast and intricate political dance. Newly initiated brides can be susceptible to bribery, and the craftier templar-wives work multiple sides of a conflict to scheme their way into The city-state's higher echelons.
Shadow Brides in Combat
A shadow bride is a scrappy fighter and doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. In fact, she prefers it. She unleashes her built-up rage for those noble snakes who condescend to her upon any who dare assault her. She reserves her psychic punishments for beautifully dressed or well-spoken adversaries.
