Creatures

The following lists Unused Creatures for Shadowkey.

Spikeworm

• Spikeworms

Floater

• Stingfloater variant

Ghost

• Blood Spirit variant
• Unused brown ghost

Rat

• Unused rat

Zombie

• Unused zombie

Races

Khajiit

• Khajiit npcs do not appear in the game. Khajiit are playable however, but lack a tail and digitigrade legs. An unused Khajiit model with digitigrade legs exists in the files.

Quests

Four quests are described in the game's scripts but can never be obtained:

• Trailslag's Pack — Return Olpac Trailslag's pack to him in Ghast's Pass

  This quest was supposed to be triggered by meeting Ivgrizt before Olpac Trailslag, but was evidently abandoned in favor of one quest no matter the order in which the events occurred - Trailslag's Goods.

• Skelos Tharn Involved — Find evidence of Jagar Tharn's involvement in Lakvan's Stronghold, return to Skelos Undriel

  Little remains of this quest but it was probably similar to the quests Tanyin Lakvan Evidence and Porliss Lakvan Evidence. Having two factions interested in Lakvan was presumably considered enough without introducing a third.

• Dragonstar Gate Clear Raider's Nest — Clear Raider's Nest for Teresa Clothgen

  In the final game, the player must clear a hill of raiders before being allowed into Dragonstar. It seems that either the original task was to clear Raider's Nest or that both tasks had to be accomplished.

• Spire Thief Confession — Free Makor from his cell

  Technically, this quest does appear as it is started and finished during the dialogue with Makor when he is a prisoner in Delfran's Hideout. Nothing appears in the quest log, however, and no credit is given. It is reasonable to assume that the existence of the quest is simply a scripting shortcut to generate the correct response when Makor is met later on.

Maps

"menu"

There is an unused level called "menu" in the files, this was most likely going to be used as a moving background for Shadowkey's main menu.

Weapons

	Name	Skill		Buy	Sell	Magic Effect	Acquisition
	Neb's Talon	Dagger	35-45	20000	1000	+25 Attack +10 Resist Magic	Cut Content
	Shard of Vehemence	Shortblade	38-40	20000	1000	+15 Health +5 Lethal Strike +5 Strength	Cut Content

Notes

• Before its release, Shadowkey's first press release trailer advertised a feature of unlocking new areas, and downloading weapons and spells via the N-gage arena. The N-gage arena integration for the game was reported to be scrapped, and many of the Items, Spells, etc with no documented location may have been intended to originate from there.
• Shadowkey would have originally had four player multiplayer, more character art, and a few more large levels.
