Tenebrous

A Tenebrous is a shadow-like creature that the Knights of the Borrowed Dark are dedicated to fighting off. They have many names, such as the Obscura, the Stygian and Those Who Walk Under Unlit Skies. When Denizen first encounters one with Grey in a tunnel, he describes it to have asymmetrical limbs hanging from vast and jagged shoulders, and massive roughly wrought wings. He calls them "Bad-Dream Angels."

Knights can use Cants, which are "magic words" to summon fire that can defeat the Tenebrous. Several of the Cants are named, but there are precisely seventy-eight altogether. Denizen's first Higher Cant that he uses is called "Sunrise," against a Pick-up-the-pieces.
