The Shrouded Ones appear as normal humans wreathed in hazy shadow, an effect they refer to as the “ebon curtain.” Since this makes their true nature readily apparent during the daylight hours, they tend to limit their movements to the evening or to days when clouds create overcast conditions. Many of the apheliotropes still bear some sign of their demonic heritage, be it horns, strangely shaped eyes or animalis- tic extremities. Physically, they are stronger and more vital than the average man or woman and far more prone to emotional outbursts of savagery and vendettas. Perhaps due to their heritage, they are able to master the Terrestrial Circle of magic, and some of them are dedicated and potent sorcerers.
