Eternal
Since the new eternals all went through “proper” shadow indoctrination, they’ve all been a lot calmer. Still killers of course, but at least now you haven’t seen any signs of them acting unstable.
Besides you, Cyrus and Talia, they are probably still the best warriors you have though, so you decided to still keep them a bit separate from the rest of the “rank and file” by naming them the Shadow Blades. They seem to like the designation. There are a few “normal” shadows in the Blades as well since anyone can be one if they’re skilled enough. While the Eternals still tend to see Talia as their “mother” Cyrus and Draven are the ones who mostly send them out on patrols or missions nowadays. Talia’s learned to let go of her “children” a bit.
The other main reason for the creation of the Blades is due to the fact that a lot of the shadows have families now or are attempting to start on such. Seeing as you don’t do a lot of warring nowadays, you figure it would be all right to relax the need for everyone to be on constant alert all the time. All shadows are still required to upkeep their martial and magic skills though.
The other change you decided on was to create a council of sorts. As Shadow Master your word goes (Or Dendrin’s “Word” as they all sometimes believe) but you’ve been trying to become more inclusive in some of the decision making mainly because some of the more menial tasks or administrative duties are a bore to you and it helps if you don’t have to do it all by yourself. (Bad enough you’ve got to keep up on all the shadow lore, fortunately you let Talia handle some of that)
So far the Shadow Council is made up of you, Talia, Cyrus, Draven, Yvette and Theo. Three Eternals, three humans and one of those pairings is one of each. You believe it’s pretty equal all things considered.
