Shadow Paths

The Shadow Paths are known to both the Kin and the Fey.
The Paths are simply an extension of the forest and world in which the Fey are a part. Magic seeps through them, and they through it. As a consequence, the Fey will travel across the world where they feel their presence is required.
West of the Abyss, on the edge of the Mammoth Steppe, the Forest of Galahir, contain the largest concentration of the Fey outside the Twilight Glades.
Accessed by the portal known as the Glade of Ways, the pathways offer the traveller routes to all places, but they are perilous and can be trodden only by those with supreme knowledge and power. 
There are few Kin with the skill and bravery to walk the Paths but the Fey use them without thought. 
Sometimes, when the powers of the Abyss are strong, the presence of the Nightstalkers rips a portal in the fabric of reality – a doorway between dimensions. The damage to the Shadow Paths in the Twilight Glades has created another vulnerability in the fabric of reality.
The Nightstalkers gain ground due to the fracture in the elven ways, the expansion of the Abyss and Southern Rift, the wilful summoning by the crones of the Twilight Kin and simply the fear in the mortal mind.
