Shrouds are divided into three broad categories (The Violent, The Lost, and The Kindly), based on what they were like in life. These categories determine how a player gains and loses will, their motivations, and the way in which they are most likely to rebel against The Balance. Shrouds also wield a number of powers to help them carry out their grim task. These powers are divided into the dominions of war, misfortune, atrophy, famine, pestilence, and despair. A shroud's primary dominion is determined by how they died, but players are not limited to that dominion alone.
