This towering black archway looms alone in the Lands of Eternal Night, its obsidian foundation etched with cryptic symbols. Pass through the gate, and reality itself bends. Travelers return changed—eyes filled with haunted visions of the twisted landscapes beyond, where time flows differently and beings of darkness stalk. Few who cross over return, and those who do speak of a dread dimension.

Side Quest: Darkness Falls

Part 1: The Hollow Feast:

A nobleman’s estate has been overtaken by a nightmarish force that drags victims into the Shadowfell for an eternal feast hosted by twisted shadow fey. The adventurers must enter the Shadowfell, disrupt the macabre banquet, and rescue the remaining prisoners before they are consumed.

Part 2: Echoes of the Gatekeepers:

Long ago, a secretive order of Gatekeepers guarded the Shadow Gate and its dark secrets. Their knowledge has been lost, but their remnants may still exist beyond the gate. The adventurers must find them and recover the means to close the portal permanently.
