Re: Can Nightbane bred?

Carella's views on the Nightbane were never published to make them canon however, while NBSG was.

Re: Can Nightbane bred?

The quick answer is yes, early books say that all Nightbane started as orphans that didn't know who their parents were. The Survival Guide talks about Nightbane parents keeping their children but I would argue this is extremely rare.
