Heat and light are his very essence. Fire is his trusted servant. The sun
is his closest friend. There is only one to whom the raging wildfire or the
burning lava will heed, and he is Shadowfax the god of fire, elder of the
two Elemental Brothers.
They are figuratively kin, yet Shadowfax and [20] Draak, the younger brother and
[20] god of elemental ice, are of completely different origins. While the latter
was a creation of Dentin, the former is said to have been was wrought by the
evil wizards of the [1] shadow world during the wars of chaos and served the
evil immortals of ages past. By some unknown feat he was able to escape
his creators' punishment and become that which he now is.
Under the tutelage of [18] one the greatest sorcerers to ever roam the world,
Shadowfax learned the land, its wonders, mysteries, and secrets. Countless
Eventually immortality - and with it the powers of Creation and Lore - was
hard-earned through his works and deeds.
Many lands now owe their existance to him. A stalwart clan was formed
with his aid, and thanks to his vigilance it has endured the test of time.
Many adventurers have been enlightened by his ancient wisdom and patient
instruction.
Followers of Shadowfax are elemental worshippers--therefore they are not
devoted to he alone but also to Draak, and the Elemental Brothers are
typically worshipped together. This plurality stems from the fact that
their ideologies are complimentary, not only with each other but also with
other members of the Pantheon, such as the Void. Shadowfax represents the
purifying fire that will scorch the earth preceding Oblivion, and Draak
invokes the awful cold of the nothingness that exists in the Void. [6] Schlyne
is also closely allied to the two, representing the death that follows the
use of their elements, and it is not at all unusual to find followers that
worship all these gods' aspects.
History
Shadowfax has been around for a long, long time. When the evil immortals arose to challenge Dentin in the days of old, Shadowfax was among their number. After their defeat, however, Shadowfax became a free agent and began working to better the world that he had previously sought to destroy.
Sometimes he disappears for long periods of time, and that gives the
impression of being aloof, but, whether seen or unseen, peers and players
can take comfort knowing that he is always working toward improving some
aspect of the realm of Alter Aeon.
Personality
Mortals are sometimes put off by Shadowfax unwillingness to engage in small
talk or casual conversation. In truth, he is usually very busy and rarely
has time to indulge in such luxuries. That having been said, Shadowfax is
said to be very patient and polite to those who approach him with
reasonable requests. He expects a respectful tone from mortals, especially
his own followers.

Notes
Shadowfax frequently collaborates with Draak to accomplish his game duties, so much so that the two are sometimes referred to collectively as "The Draaks" or "Shadowdraak".
Draak is Shadowfax's real life brother, and Kagome is his wife in real life.
