shade

Shade, n. (from Irish "shéadóg" meaning "blower") - term used to refer to the Gardaí Síochána or other law enforcement agency.

Comes from an era where gardaí carried whistles, which they blew to alert other gardaí and nearby civilians of crimes. The term "shéadóg" was commonly used to refer to gardaí (or other police) in the early 20th century. This became shortened to the English word "shade" in the traveller "gammer" slang, later becoming part of everyday usage.

Shadakine

Warriors in the service of Shasarak the Wytch-King and the Shadakine Empire, they apparently descended on the eastern part of southern Magnamund from the desert. They appear human, except that they have eyes which are entirely white, with no pupils. Shadakine in Shasarak's army wear ranger-like armour and their heads are shaven, except for a pony-tail at the back. They wield fearsome scimitars, and some also have war-dogs and chariots.

The Shadakine warriors are not especially strong when confronted in combat individually, but the massive Shadakine army, with its siege machinery and spike-wheeled chariots, is a fearsome adversary.
