Clues ----- The Crimson Crown's packaging included a parchment with the following poem: UNTO THINE EYES ALONE Hands I do not have, yet I grasp so tight. I love darkness, my enemy is light. Both the mighty and low know me well, For in the hearts of men do I dwell! I wonder as I wander: where am I? I shed tears, yet I cannot cry, I trek but cannot walk, swim, or fly, I am born to die. Say, what am I? I am, I'm not. I visit young and old, Some I make timid and some I make bold, Unwise is the one who pokes fun at me. Beware, for I am a shadow of thee.
