Gangue shade

The Gangue shade is a shade variant that can be summoned in the Dead Trenches.

Background[]

According to an inscription of the Legion of the Dead, the Stone is balanced but not pure. That means besides its good attributes, it also contains the gangue, the waste and unstable rock which should be cut away. Subsequently, in order for the dwarves to prosper they need to face the gangue and carve it out of themselves.

The Stone has a will that surrounds and directs; she guides even when we are willfully blind to her influence. But she is not pure. The Stone bears a corruption as old as balance. For the dwarves to prosper, the gangue--the waste and unstable rock-- must be cut away. But like the Stone, the gangue also has an influence. Each of us must face this, must carve the worst of ourselves away, but the Legion of the Dead bears a unique responsibility. Only the fully adorned of the Legion can face the gangue, can cut into darkness that afflicts the raw Stone. She encircles us, and we must protect her, here where darkness meets light.

Involvement[]

The shade is summoned during the quest the Gangue Shade. Upon its defeat it was supposed to drop the Dead Metal Bucket but due to a coding error it randomly drops a common item instead.
