Shadowwalkers
Each of you became aware of what you are the first time you died. It was a real death. An awful and painful death. But it didn't take.
You woke in the dry lands between life and death and were forced to fight your way back.
Not before you gained an understanding of what the magic of the age of heroes held at bay . . . and an understanding that those ancient powers were failing, and that the darkness they had been holding in check was now slipping free to taint the mortal realms again.
