The race inhabiting the Shadow Plane, including Dozilva do Baru. Possibly linked to the Gravonians.
Shadar-kai in Diablotin
Since Dozilva do Baru emigrated to Diablotin, more Shadar-kai have moved to the "colour plane," as they call it. The Shadar-kai in Diablotin probably number a few thousand by 2280. They are easily spotted due to their skin colour, and their cultural differences set them apart as well. They have an enclave of sorts in the area around the border of the Shambles and Rhenea - it's not mandatory that they live there, but many of them do, and there are things like restaurants and shops that cater to them there. There is definitely racism against them - common perceptions would include "they're taking our jobs, they look weird and don't dress decently, they're all sexual deviants, they're all atheists", among others. At the same time there is exoticisation/fetishization of them - it is trendy, for instance, for rich folks to have a Shadar-kai bodyguard done up in full SK gear, spiked chain, gal-ralan, etc. And it wouldn't be Diablotin if there weren't at least a few specialized SK brothels. Mild-to-moderate racism against the SK is pretty common - extreme racism is rarer, but not unknown. Interbreeding with humans is possible but is largely frowned upon.
Shadar-kai in the Shadow Plane
They totally eat mushrooms and some go underground to worship snakes.
Shadar-kai in Andusk
Having sprung from the mind of the Tal-Antar, many of the denizens of Andusk are Shadar-kai, more or less.
