Shadow Vestige

Shadow Vestiges are the remains of a defeated Shadow. Rather than being traditional Items, these vestiges are glowing balls that produce Banter when clicked on, providing a glimpse into the life each Shadow lived before they were transformed by the Shadow Curse.
== Ruined Battlefield ==
A group of Harpers are ambushed by six shadows : 
* In her former life, this girl played in the nearby woods. She was always the best at climbing trees.
* You sense a young woman, gazing at Moonrise Towers in awe. Perhaps one day she will get to gaze out from atop it, she hopes.
* You see a man stalking slowly through the woods, bow half-drawn. If he bags a deer, the whole family will be kept fed all winter...
* The image of an orange-haired cat asleep before a fireplace comes to you. What came of it?
* He had dreams of boarding a ship in Baldur's Gate, and seeing the world. But then the darkness came.
* You see an older woman, on her knees, scrubbing the floor of an inn. The patrons made a mess of things again the night before.
Two Shadows accosting drop vestiges : 
* She was a healer, trying to aid the wounded in the battle against the Sharrans. But there were so many...
* You sense that this one was once a fisherman, taught by his father.
Two more vestiges sit nearby and , presumed to have been destroyed by Rolan himself.
* You see an old boot, balanced upside down on a cobbler's knee, as he taps the final nail into the new sole. Good as new. 
* You sense a faded memory of marching in an army against . Victory seemed possible back then. 
== Last Light Inn ==
As part of the quest , two Wraiths and four Shadows drop vestiges when assaulting the Shadow Crossing:
* Thoughts of baby names. She did not wish for her first born to be named after her mother-in-law. Muldred. Ugh.
* You glimpse a young Harper on the eve of battle against Thorm, long ago. He and his comrades toast each other in Last Light.
* Desperate prayers to Selûne, echoing from the past. They did not save him.
* You sense a fading echo of the person who once was. A dockhand. He did not ask for this.
* You can almost feel the heat from the forge. This one was once a blacksmith.
* A faded memory of a boy and girl sharing their first kiss. Your own heart almost flutters in tune with theirs.
== Reithwin Town ==
Near the heart of the town at , three Shadows drop vestiges:
* An older man turns his head away in shame. His neighbors would not renounce Selûne - now they hang in the town square.
* You feel a rush of outrage. This woman worshipped Shar to the end - so why does the Nightsinger's curse not spare her...?
* You see a man drain his tankard in an inn as he listens to a Flaming Fist play the lute. He's better than his uniform might suggest
** If the player met , this line follows: You catch a glimpse of the lute-playing Flaming Fist. It's the catatonic man you encountered in Last Light Inn.
On the path to the House of Healing, where the party can find , two Shadows drop vestiges.
* You sense a matriarch's flush of pride - she will soon be a grandmother, and the child will bear her name, Muldred.
* You sense a swell of grief. Before the shadows took her, this woman mourned someone lost in battle.
In the basement of the Mason's Guild, five Shadows and one Wraith drop vestiges.
* A happy, faded memory comes to you. A woman walking along a beach, holding hands with her husband-to-be.
* You sense this one hid for days as the sounds of battle got closer and closer to town. You didn't even care who won, so long as it ended.
* Before the shadows, there was once a house full of warmth a[nd]As of , the in-game text reads "a" instead of "and." childrens' laughter in this one's life. No more.
* A distant memory of a man stretching his back with a groan. Another day of hauling masonry blocks done...
* Callused hands work a hammer and chisel around a massive slab of rock. Months from now, a face will take shape.
* You can almost taste the sour ale that once clung to this soul's breath. He was insensible when the shadows came for him.
