Nightshade

Nightshade was a seer and healer in the army of Swartt Sixclaw. She was older than the ferret, and usually gave him advice to further his ambitions. Although Swartt didn't treat her very well, the vixen remained loyal to the ferret, feeling it was in her destiny.

Nightshade proves invaluable to Swartt's conquests, helping him take Bowfleg's army and disposing of Balefur. After the army fails at Salamandastron, Nightshade tells Swartt to continue on to the Bat Mountpit while she and a group of archers picked off the following Sunflash the Mace. As the badger approached, Nightshade noticed Skalrath flying over head and shot him down. This enraged Sunflash, causing him to chase down and kill Nightshade.
