After Dredgen Yor's fall, cleansed replicas of the Thorn were created by the [[Shadows of Yor]], a group of Guardians who idolize the fallen Guardian. Their activity raised enough concern for [[Shin Malphur]], Yor's killer, to take up arms against the Shadows. A year after the Red War, a Shadow of Yor known as [[Callum Sol]] was found and killed by Shin as an example made to warn the other Dredgens. [[The Guardian|The Young Wolf]] would find the spot of the Shadow's final death, retrieving weapon parts from his remains for [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] to | After Dredgen Yor's fall, cleansed replicas of the Thorn were created by the [[Shadows of Yor]], a group of Guardians who idolize the fallen Guardian.

It is later revealed that Shin's killing of Callum Sol was in fact a trap to bait Guardians that could not resist their temptations of the Darkness, and that Shin Malphur is actually a member of the Shadows of Yor himself. Having taken upon himself to prevent a whole generation of Guardians from following in Yor's footsteps, Shin (under the identity of Zyre Orsa) founded the Shadows along with [[Teben Grey]], [[Zana Maas]], [[Jonah Pavic]], [[Braga Yasuul]] and Callum Sol as a means to uncover potential Lightbearers going rogue after participating in the Drifter's [[Gambit]] and dissuade them from falling into temptation. They would also look for a Guardian capable of resisting their temptations; which they would find with [[the Young Wolf]] after they killed [[Enkaar, the Anointed]], an infamous [[Hive]] weapon master who crafted the original blueprint of the Weapons of Sorrow, and reforged a broken copy of Thorn without succumbing to its corruption. | It is later revealed that Shin's killing of Callum Sol was in fact a trap to bait Guardians that could not resist their temptations of the Darkness, and that Shin Malphur is actually a member of the Shadows of Yor himself.
