{{Quote|Ever since [[The Guardian|you]] slew [[Darkness|its]] champions, the Darkness had become desperate. We thought it would be the end of the Dark, but now it's gained untold numbers of allies from dimensions [[Forum:The Dimensional Wars|beyond our understanding]], and this time, it plans to bring forth the end of the [[Light]] once and for all. The Shadowkeepers may have found a new [[Forum:Mallory Bertha|ally]] who can help usher in a new era of darkness, but we have allies of our own. We must deny [[Forum:Kazuto, Blade of the Winnower|Kazuto]] and his Shadow Heralds the chance to destroy the [[Traveler]] so that we can continue what [[Zavala]] left off in preventing the Darkness from succeeding in corrupting both our world... and possibly the multiverse.|[[Forum:Hannah Ciel|Hannah Ciel]]}}
The '''Shadowkeepers''' (also known as the '''Shadow Army''', and '''Winnower's Last Attempt''') are a force of [[Fallen]], [[Hive]], [[Vex]], [[Cabal]], [[Taken]], [[Scorn]], and human antagonists from different time periods and alternate universes led by the Shadow Heralds, a group of elite and powerful enemies, selected by the [[Darkness]]. They were formed by the Darkness as a last attempt against the [[Light]].

They are the main antagonists of the ''[[Forum:Paradox (Reworked)|Paradox]]'' expansion, having slain [[Zavala]], corrupted [[Forum:Mallory Bertha|Mal]] with the [[Darkness]], and caused the [[Forum:Shadowkeeper Apocalypse (Reworked)|Shadowkeeper Apocalypse]].
==Overview==
Recruited by the Darkness as its last line of defense in a desperate attempt to finally destroy the Traveler and end the age of Guardians, the Shadowkeepers, led by the Shadow Heralds and their Agents, serve as a multi-dimensional legion of notorious villains from both different time periods and alternate universes, deploying various forces of the Darkness across the [[Solar System]] with plans to further weaken the Light. While the Shadow Heralds can be identified by their black-blue Pyramid-forged armors with hues of purple, green, red, and turquoise, their Agents can be identified by their main outfits adorned by Pyramid-enhanced ornaments.

Some time during the events of the Apocalypse, few members of other enemy factions began defecting over to the Shadowkeepers’ side, causing said factions to retaliate against the Shadows and deem them as heretics due to the defectors joining a Darkness-related faction, as well as them following some Shadows who are humans.

==History==
===Origins===
{{Quote|For centuries, humanity built the world on lies, mutual interests, truces, and so-called heroics, tainting the majesty of our shape. Ever since they came to this world, they've infested existence with the most gruesome of all lies: this abnormal addiction they call goodness, but that will all change. The universe now calls out to you... I now call out to you. I have seen your struggles, your sufferings, your pain enacted by those who claim to be heroes and villains. I have witnessed your ambitions, your powers, your awakening, your desire... to change the world. I can give you everything you've always wanted. All you have to do is carry out my will. Become the Black Swordsman and Lightning Flash, Overlords of Shadows, the instruments of our reckoning, and the heralds of our ascension. Reclaim your powers so that you can finally destroy the Light once and for all. Reshape the universe as you see fit so that it can emerge, prosper, and free its inhabitants from humanity's greatest lie: FREEDOM.|The [[Darkness]], speaking to Kazuto and Stacia.}}
Some time after the Guardians' victory during the events of [[Lightfall]], the [[Darkness]], having found a still-open portal, used its dying breath to send the [[Black Fleet]] into the dimensional gateway to recruit its new allies, such as Kazuto and Stacia, alternate version of Kirito and Asuna from Sword Art Online, where they not only beat the game, but also took over and ruled over within Aincrad; Totomaru, a former member of the Phantom Lord guild and the manipulator of the [[Solar]] element; [[Forum:Eobard Thawne, Speedbreacher of Kirito|Eobard Thawne]], the Reverse-Flash and a speedster who murdered Nora Allen, the mother of Barry Allen; and [[Forum:Malcolm Merlyn, Crystalline of Kirito|Malcolm Merlyn]], the Dark Archer and the man who orchestrated the destruction of the Queen's Gambit and played a role in Sara Lance's death. 

Along with Damien Darhk, the leader of H.I.V.E. and the man who murdered Laurel Lance; Tobias Whale, a crime lord and the man who murdered Jefferson Pierce's father; The Doctor, a Framework persona of Leopold Fitz and HYDRA's ruthless second-in-command; Anton Ivanov, the leader of the Watchdogs and a powerful mercenary known as Omega; Hiram Lodge, a powerful businessman and the leader of a notorious criminal empire responsible for the emergence of the Ghoulies; Morgana le Fay, the Mother of Monsters and a powerful wizard who was betrayed by Merlin and allied with Gunmar and his army in her quest for revenge on the Trollhunters; Zevon, the son of Yzma who invaded Auradon with plans to steal the Golden Cobra and the Birthright Jewels so that he could rule said kingdom; [[Uldren Sov]], the Prince of the Reef who was presumed dead during the [[Battle of Saturn]]; Djin, the leader of the Numeros and a former member of M.A.T.A.; Sasuke Uchiha, the lone surviving member of the Uchiha clan who acquired the Sharingan and the Rinnegan; Phoenixaro Uchihamaki, the leader of the Akatsuki and Kakashi Hatake's estranged brother; and Ruby Hale, the Destroyer of Worlds and the daughter of General Hale, who had been genetically engineered by HYDRA's leader Daniel Whitehall, the Shadow Heralds would resurrect [[Forum:Sachi, Heart of Reign|Sachi]] and [[Forum:Eugeo, Armament of Fikrul|Eugeo]] by implanting the respective memories of Reign and [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]] into their vessels' bodies and form a notorious organization unlike anything the world had ever encountered known as the Shadowkeepers.

At some point in time, the Shadowkeepers would grow influence amongst minor figures from the enemy species of [[The Last City]], and the [[Traveler]], and rallied many of their people to join the Shadows. However, many other Factions deemed them as heretics due to reasons such as the [[Darkness]] as well as some of those Shadows are humans, causing many Factions to attack the Shadows as a result. But nonetheless, the Shadowkeepers were able to gain enough numbers to form small divisions, such as the [[Forum:House of Shadows|House of Shadows]], [[Forum:Shadow Brood|Shadow Brood]], [[Forum:Shadow Divisive|Shadow Divisive]], [[Forum:Shadow Legion|Shadow Legion]], [[Forum:The Reborn|The Reborn]], and the [[Forum:Cult of the Scorned|Cult of the Scorned]].

===The Dark Campaign===
====Attack on Auradon====
{{Quote|The world now knows the identity of the one behind it all: Kazuto. The Black Swordsman of Aincrad. The man who murdered Zavala. And now, he has set his eyes on our universe, seeking to destroy the Light.|[[Eris Morn]]}}
(TBA)
====Killing the Vanguard Commander====
(TBA)

====A New Aincrad====
{{Quote|My loyal and ambitious subjects, you are here today to finally end your troubles, finally end your griefs over your losses, finally to end your droughts against The Last City's forces...and to finally bring your people's salvation. The wait is finally over, for I, Kazuto, Chosen by the Winnower, Champion of the Black Fleet, Bringer to Light's End, will bring you the Salvation and justice that you crave so dearly...|Kazuto, addressing the Shadowkeepers and his elites.}}
Moments after taking over Auradon, Kazuto and Stacia set up countless programs and [[SIVA]] networks from his computer that the [[Black Fleet]] used to rebuild Aincrad as they saw fit and split up the Shadow Army into its six respective groups: the [[Forum:House of Shadows|House of Shadows]], led by [[Forum:Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Shadows|Kotrik]], the notorious [[Fallen]] [[Kell]] of Shadows who formerly worked with the [[House of Devils]]; the [[Forum:Shadow Brood|Shadow Brood]], led by [[Forum:Zharves, Shadowcaster of Shadows|Zharves]], a surviving [[Hive]] [[Deathsinger]] who formerly served [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]] and [[Oryx, the Taken King|his father]]; the [[Forum:Shadow Divisive|Shadow Divisive]], led by [[Forum:Hydrax, Mindkiller of Shadows|Hydrax]], a massive [[Vex]] [[Axis Mind]] [[Hydra]] who possessed the ability to stop time; the [[Forum:Shadow Legion|Shadow Legion]], led by [[Forum:Gha'arn, Crownforger of Shadows|Gha'arn]], a powerful [[Cabal]] warlord who helped restore the Cabal Empire to its full glory; the [[Forum:The Reborn|Reborn]], led by [[Forum:Thu'urg, Blightmaker of Shadows|Thu'urg]], a [[Taken]] [[Cabal]] commander who sought to seize control of Oryx's army; and the [[Forum:Cult of the Scorned|Cult of the Scorned]], led by [[Forum:Vayeriks, Fatesmith of Shadows|Vayeriks]], [[Fikrul]]'s right hand and a commander of the first [[Scorn]].

Hoping to further weaken the Traveler, they sent their forces across the [[Sol System]] to sow chaos amongst the many factions of the system, including the [[Forum:Dusk Splicers|Dusk Splicers]], as the rest of their cloning machines went missing, as well as frequent attacks led by the Shadowkeepers’ commanders, even taking a foothold over [[Forum:Hoth|Hoth]], finally ending the reign of the Dusk Splicers.

===The Shadowkeeper Apocalypse===
====Battle of Bannerfall====
Some time during the Apocalypse, Kotrik and his House of Shadows and their operatives had managed to compromise the outer sensors, defenses, and outposts; as well as suppressing the Satellite's communication systems of the City and Reef and concealed their presence, stealing Guardian tech and the Last City's arsenal along the way. In anticipation of the heist on the City, Kirito directly sought to use Kotrik's attack to his advantage in the hopes of crippling the Last City's defenses. To achieve this, he even managed to blind the Guardians' precognition and prophetic abilities in order to enable Kotrik's surprise attack to be 100% effective.
====Ahnkra's Campaign====
{{Quote|So, it seems that one of [[Forum:Viznoor, the Black|Vizzy]]’s precious servants turned traitor and joined up with that stupid brat and his boot-licking army. That rat bastard Ahnkra’s been tearing up the [[Tangled Shore|Shore]] with a resurrected army of brainwashed soldiers. A trick he picked up from [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], I assume. Anyhow, the Shitkeepers are gonna be even more of a problem now that they have knowledge of the [[Forum:Stygian Brood|Stygian Brood]]’s special blend of necromancy, so....you know what to do. Time to take out the garbage.|[[UserWiki:Vothriks, the Lost|Vothriks, the Lost]]}}
Some time during the Apocalypse, the [[Forum:Stygian Brood|Stygian Brood]] fell under attack by Kazuto and Stacia and their army. While most remained loyal to [[Forum:Viznoor, the Black|Viznoor]] despite the damage they suffered, a few did defect to Kazuto's army, among them being [[Forum:Ahnkra, Devoted to Zharves|Ahnkra, the Desolate]], who viewed the swordsman as “the true pillar of strength.” Ahnkra pledged absolute loyalty to Kazuto's cause and the [[Forum:Zharves, Shadowcaster of Kirito|Shadowcaster]], and shared his knowledge of the Stygian Brood’s necromancy and the method they used to free themselves of their [[Worm]]s. Setting up a base deep within the [[Tangled Shore]], Ahnkra then began replicating [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]'s method in resurrecting a wide array of previously slain foes from Fallen, Cabal and other sects of Hive and corrupting them into his mindless servants, effectively creating the Shadow Army’s sect of [[Wrathborn]], the [[Forum:Shadowkeepers (Paradox)#Shadow Ravagers|Shadow Ravagers]].

In the following days, Ahnkra would launch repeated strikes against the Stygian Brood while adding more to the Shadow Ravagers’ ranks from across the system. Furious, Viznoor rallied his brood to stage a counterattack on Ahnkra’s forces, leading to a violent large-scale conflict between the Shadow Brood and the Stygian Brood amidst the Tangled Shore. Sometime after the skirmishes began, Ahnkra began preparing a ritual to infest the Tangled Shore with Darkness in Kazuto's name, which a Fireteam, led by a wandering Guardian, would discover when they were sent to investigate the Hive activity. Working with Viznoor and his forces, they managed to break through the Shadow Army’s defenses; however, before they could have the chance to stop the ritual from being completed, the crew would be slaughtered by Ahnkra, forcing Viznoor's forces to retreat. Moments after discovering that one of the Guardians slain by Ahnkra was in fact a friend of her, [[Forum:Hannah Ciel|Hannah Ciel]] went to her friend's last spot on the Tangled Shore and fought a harrowing battle against Ahnkra. However, just when Ahnkra was about to slaughter her, she is saved by [[Eris Morn]], who sends a series of brutal attacks against Ahnkra, who is forced to retreat, but not before vowing revenge on Eris.
====Assault on the Empire====
(TBA - to be filled by [[User:Unscathed Legionary|Unscathed]])

====Dark Powers====

====Hunting the Agents====

====Toppling the Heralds====

====Final Showdown====

===Legacy===
====Nightmare Resurrection====

====Shadows Gathering====
{{Quote|I have gazed the abyss and came back unscathed. A true testament to my will and perseverance and the extent to which I'll go to avenge my fallen friends and family. Now that I have the secrets of power unending, it's time I now emerge with my trusted subordinates and show our tormentors the true meaning of pain.|[[Forum:Xavyskaa|Xavyskaa]]}}
