Ok the guards in the tower do not protect you against shadows just thought you should know I was exploring and ran to the shadow island (was leving over water) and a shadow agroed on me so I ran to the tower and started runnin circles around the guard till the shadow caught up to me and the shadow proceded to kill me and the guards just stood there.... Lucky I ran to the fungus grove zone and was able to excape... maybe my faction with the guards just isnt good enough..... dunno will have to go con one....
the shadow conned blue to me but I being a mage didnt have a pet cause its easier to explore without one. and hell I copuldnt land a nuke either
