Heh, I think the Shades have been overused since their return.
I feel the same way. I know from experience that not everyone agrees with us, but oh well.
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams." --Richard Greene (letter to Time)
I've always enjoyed the Shadowvar. I thought they were a great deal less angry and monolithically (sp?) evil than previous FR villains; in other words, I enjoyed how Shade's representatives weren't running around cackling and rubbing their hands together all the time.
TWILIGHT WAR SPOILER!!!!!
The way that Paul S Kemp handled the oh-so-subtle takeover of Sembia was amazing. It was incredible to watch the Enclave slowly amass their power over Sembia until they were inextricable. This is such a welcome change to the norm of how places in the Realms fall apart - with lots of stomping and fireballs and the like. An externally-orchestrated civil war: THAT is why I like the shades. :D

My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm
