The Shadowstorm Chronicles: Path of Shadow

The Shadowstorm Chronicles: Shadow's Hand is an expansion pack for The Shadowstorm Chronicles: Exodium. It was released for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on March 15th 2009.

Gameplay
Gameplay has been slightly improved on from The Shadowstorm Chronicles: Exodium. The glitch of lingering status affects has been fixed, and shading has been modified to avoid glitching also. The player has the choice to import their character from the original game over, or begin anew. Upon entering Asranathi after the events of the previous story, the player receives a task (Good alignment: to journey to the newly reachable Shadowlands and recover the sword of Sir Pendraken, a knight who was lost there centuries ago the last time the gateway opened, Evil alignment: investigate the Shadowlands and attempt to contact the Dark Father). The new setting is the Shadowlands, a vast barren landscape that is rumored to be the home of the Dark Father and his servants. A new race is introduced for both alignments (the Dwarves of Kazud Ahrim and the Tainted, a race of humans who have become corrupted by the Shadowland's magics). Two new classes accompany this, the Kazud Guardian (exclusive to Dwarves) and the Tainted Warrior (exclusive to Tainted). New enemies include higher level Shadowspawn, and a variety of other dark creatures. The player can also level to level 80, and acquire advanced equipment.

NPCs - Party Members
Kah'ren - A Tainted Black Mage, who joins the party if they are Evil aligned upon their entrance to the Shadowlands. He seeks to investigate the Shadowlands and their many ruins.
