As the Shadow Lord grew in power, he began to create monstrous beasts in the Factory. Branded with the symbol of the Shadow Lord, these beasts raided the northern tribes of Deltora. With the aim to take prisoners back to the Shadowlands, the beasts fought until death. The raids continued until it became a part of everyday life in the north.
