Darkness and Light – The Vorlon & Shadow Fact Book
d20 Bablyon 5 – 1st Edition
- Publisher: Mongoose Publishing
- Rules: d20 Bablyon 5 1st Edition
- Series: Babylon 5 (mgp3355)
- Author:

There are beings in the universe billions of years older than either of our races. Once, long ago, they walked among the stars like giants, vast, timeless. Taught the Younger Races, explored beyond the Rim, created great empires, but to all things, there is an end. Slowly, over a million years, the First Ones went away. Some passed beyond the stars never to return. Some simply disappeared.’
‘But not all of the First Ones have gone away.’
Intelligent life is ancient in this universe. Before the Earth and the Sun congealed out of space dust, there were races travelling between the stars in shining ships. Living beings heard the echoes of the Big Bang reverberate off the cosmic spheres. Alien voices sang as the stars of this galaxy were born. These beings eventually found life developing on a hundred worlds. Not wanting to be alone, they nurtured this burgeoning life. Slowly, over millennia, more sentient beings evolved and took their first steps towards the stars.
These races would become the Vorlons and the Shadows. Unfathomable years later, they would be as gods to the Younger Races. One embodies the principle of chaos. The other purports the rule of order. Darkness and Light, each as terrible and powerful as the other, locked in an aeon-old struggle for dominance of the galaxy.
Inside You Will Find
- History & Technology: Full histories of both races, told from both sides of the moral divide, and the fantastic details of their technological advances – and how they work.
- First One Servants: All the many types of Vorlon and Shadow Agent are detailed within, along with their major client races, such as the Drakh, the Ru’Harus, the Ascori and the Zener.
- Characters: Full rules on playing a Vorlon or Shadow character!
- Realms: From the Vorlon Empire to the Shadow Dominion, all the major client worlds of both races are reviewed.
- ‘Snowball’: A deadly adventure that pits Player Characters against an insidious Shadow plot destined to throw a race into chaos…
What is My Library
My Library is a section of my blog dedicated to the reference of material I am using in my games and linking it back to the sourcebooks I am using. It is also a handy way to keep track of the material I have.
It is intended as a reference section for personal use, any other use is just a bonus.
