Shadar-Kai

Shadar-Kai are a race of gloomy fey that originate from the plane of shadow. Shadar-Kai are dark and dismal with a bleak but realistic outlook on life. They stand between four to five and half feet tall with generally lean builds. Their skin ranges from a silvery white to a smoky charcoal color, and their hair colors mirror that of humans and elves, but with their colors dulled.
