Nibenay, the Shadow King, has been a reclusive figure since he threw off the guise of Champion of Rajaat and took on the mantle of a sorcerer-king. Recently, with the events surrounding the birth of the Cerulean Storm, Nibenay has become a more visible and active force in the city-state that bears his name. The Shadow King fancies himself a scholar and researcher of wide repute. While no one outside his private inner sanctum knows what Nibenay has been studying, rumors persist that it involves Athas’s earliest ages. How Nibenay’s current interest in his city’s military prowess is going to affect his arcane studies has yet to be determined. The Shadow King still keeps his inner city, a place where scholar-slaves labor over ancient texts and arcane relics, closed to the public. Nibenay himself often talks about “the time before” with his top templar-wives, —the time before the sorcererkings, before the Champions, before Rajaat. Some members of the veiled alliance believe that the Shadow King is seeking a way to travel through time, but this has yet to be confirmed. Because of the changes effecting the Tyr Region, Nibenay has put aside his ages-old enmity with Lalali-Puy, sorcerer-queen of Gulg. At least that’s how it appears on the surface. His nobles and templars believe that the new level of cooperation is only a ruse to gain the Shadow King even more power in the Ivory Triangle.
