Shaded Scholars

Shade's scholarly community represents an insulated and highly eccentric collection of scientists, magicians, historians, archivists, linguists and the like.

Communicating by way of grumpy, sarcastic or spiteful letters in Shade's various scientific journals, the community has developed traditions, terminology, conventions and virtually an entire culture of its own.

An incomplete list of notable scholars born on Shade:

• Adalfrid of Applestone
• Gery Illumin, author of Nature's Laws and Wonders
• Sora Heigh, telepath and mage, author of Boundary Mechanics for Geniuses
• [Vietr the Forgetful]?
• Suitov Iceheart

Eccentric bookish types typically hold dragannerie in high regard.
