Don't sweat it, you're not alone. In fact, if form that you are at your most powerful and, in a way, your you ever figure it out, let me know. Nobody is really sure what most vulnerable.
The Nightlords, their Hounds, their Hunters we are, except maybe the Nightlords, and they're not talking. In this form:, they recognize you as someone to fear. And in your Morphus, you have the power to destroy them. Use As far as we can tell, we ain't strictly human. Are we a com- it. Use your powers to destroy them before they destroy you. Though since we seem to be Trust me on that one.
More likely than not, we possess some special ability, like a dormant monster The Morphus gives you Supernatural Strength, senses be- gene or something that links us to the supernatural. Since Dark yond those of your average Joe Bagodonuts, and you probably Day, that link changed us.
That's good and bad, because while it have two or more special abilities that are a cross between gives us superhuman abilities it makes us different, obviously magic and superpowers. Don't worry if you haven't figured different. That's one theory. Another is that we are some kind of them out yet, they'll come when you are ready or need them supernatural creature, like vampires which exist by the way or most.
Wait, it gets better. We look human, were raised by humans, but we mortal. There are Nightbane said to be thousands of years old. I ain't entirely human ourselves. Maybe we are half human, know several elders who are hundreds of years old and look like half-supernatural being or Faerie Folk, or dragon, or some other they are in their twenties.
You might be getting the gist that But don't break out the capes and tights yet. There are some none of us knows exactly what we are, and you'd be right about obvious, and not so obvious, drawbacks to all this power. One is that. Your family and pals might Okay, here is something we do know. The Nightlords fear us. Mine weren't. My own We can hurt them. Hurt them and their stinking henchmen and father called me a monster and tried to kill me while mother just demonic servants.
That makes us humanity's protectors. Maybe wept. Not pretty. I never went back. That spells loneliness. Our side in the war has no central the night. Only you're a monster too. Or are you? Remember, leader, precious few resources, and many do not even know or you were born human. Your Facade is human. You just look understand our own nature, let alone the nature of our allies and like something that crawled out of aWes Craven movie.
That's enemies. Still, we are the Earth's best hope for survival, so we all harder to deal with than you might think. Ain't nothing press on. Don't fret Survival is what the Guide is all about. Survival is the first none though, boys and girls, because you ain't alone, though order of business for us soldiers in the Hidden War against the there are times when you might wish you were. For what good can you do humanity, or The Hidden War. Years after Dark Day plunged the world whatever species you are fighting for, if you don't know how to into an uncertain millennium, a shadow war rages across the get home from the grocery store alive?
It is a war fought in every corner of the globe, on For the past several years, the forces of good or sometimes every continent, in every city and small town, and it has claimed the forces ofNot Quite Evil, depending on who you are talking thousands upon thousands of lives.
It is a war that has shattered about , have had to scramble.

It is a war ally sniff out supernatural heroes where they hide? Many of the whose outcome will decide the fate of humankind. Those who did, however, have learned. There isn't any flag waving or We've gotten smarter. We've learned to use our powers better parades. No History Channel documentaries about it or nightly and our numbers grow daily. We have established safe houses, news updates. While there is no official body count, plenty of hidden strategic weapons caches, secured communications net- people have died and many more suffer in its wake.
This may be works, and developed code words for talking on systems we the most important battle the human race has ever fought, cannot secure. We have become better at finding and recruiting against a foe of unparalleled evil, and most people have never other Nightbane, and we are better skilled at sniffing out a rat heard of it. Hell, this may be the first time you've been told when we smell one. We attack the Nightlords from the very about it, so listen close. We save lives, the lives of Nightbane and innocent people, we destroy minions, and On one side are the Nightlords, enigmatic beings who have challenge authority.
When a battle is done, we fade back into the covertly infiltrated nearly every government on the planet. Their shadows and disappear without a trace.
That's how this war minions control the police, media, bureaucracy and militaries of must be fought. On the streets, guerilla style. They employ fearsome supernatural predators who can wield an array of frightening powers, often Introducing new blood into this war is not easy, but it is nec- including the power to disguise themselves as humans and walk essary.

You must learn to distrust the people you once believed Nightlords'. We Nightbane, our origin shrouded in mystery, in, and often place your lives in the hands of total strangers.
You seem to be the lynchpin of these efforts. We fight alongside the must often put the fate of humanity into the hands of those who, Guardians, glowing beings with power over light, and on the outside at least, appear to be monsters.

If for no other reason than it may be the only way to young people who dare to question the status quo, virtually no hide from the Nightlords. Hell, some Nightbane don't even show their Facade to their The media seldom covers the subject, and when they do, they own allies, living two entirely separate lives.
But this means al- treat it as "kook" literature and eyewitnesses or believers as nut ways meeting with other Nightbane in Morphus. That's easy if cases to be mocked and laughed at. Traveling as a monster means back alleys and sticking to the Most normal humans who have been exposed to the supernatu- shadows. Fortunately, most people don't want to believe we ex- ral only feel comfortable around Guardians and the most "Ken" ist so they deny seeing us and only about one third report a or "Barbie" looking examples of Nightbane.

They don't think it will be them: They have wonderful money laundering resources. It's no a good idea for humanity to toss the Nightlords all at once.

For another, they would like to amiss. Trust me, that will be the least of your sins in the long ensure that when the Nightlords do finally fall, they will be re- run.

Most Nightbane tend to pick a par- the Nightlords believe they will lose, they might unleash Arma- ticularly noteworthy or unique aspect of their Morphus or their geddon and utterly destroy the planet by letting loose the personality.
Sometimes, other Nightbane just start calling you world's nuclear arsenal. They are, after all, the leaders of na- something they think fits and it sticks for life. Personally, I'd tions that possess such frightening capabilities, and the choose my own if I were you. Some of us have a sick sense of Nightlords are without mercy or compassion.
If they lose, EV- humor, so you don't want us picking your street name for you. It's a tricky situation. First, this keeps you from having to be called by your Facade So both sides, in silent agreement, keep the war from the name while in Morphus form, which would defeat the entire eyes of humanity. At least for now. Second, a Doppleganger is much more likely to roll over on Keeping to the some vital information if being pressed by Knifehand Jack or Countess Bloodraven than they are for John Fairchild or Brittany Jones.
And even if you're lousy at picking out a street Shadows after Dark Day name, you can still sucker punch 'em while they're laughing at Excerpts from the Nightbane Survival Guide your nom de guerre.

That's a classic example of The best way to dispose of a cell phone is to convert it back this tactic.
