With Shade destroyed, the remaining shades must be having a hard time of it making their way in the world.

They not only attacked or pissed-off every good (or neutral) group, they also attacked at least one and pissed-off nearly every other evil group.

They are probably the one group (should they return in force... AGAIN) that could make Thay and Aglarond form an alliance to stop them. Its THAT bad.

In fact, they are so awful, when they show up in The Realms, people in the real world start grabbing their pitchforks and torches!

With the way the Shades were used as pretty much THE evil group of the Realms, from 3.0 onward, I'd expect -- especially after they took over Sembia -- that the Shades would be known throughout the Heartlands. Sure, your peasant/farmer likely won't even know someone that has seen a Shade, but they had a big enough impact on the Realms that pretty much everyone would at least know of them.

But the phrase "throughout the Realms" is the key here. Do you all think that the average uneducated peasant-farmer in the Western Heartlands would even know what a Shade is? How about a sheep-herding Halfling rancher (residing in some pastoral Halfling shire)? Would he even know a Shade when he encounters one?

IMHO, these average citizens of the Realms would most likely be apprehensive, if not hostile, to a very foreign-looking humanoid that they rarely (or never) heard about. They would even guess, correctly, that the Shade being is possibly some fiendish-looking creature "from beyond our world". They are at least partially right. The Shades are more at home in the Plane of Shadow.

Badly. Like pitchforks and torches badly.

They probably stick to the Shadows (heh) and maybe consolidate in places that had accepted them before, like certain merchant-houses in Sembia and probably a few corrupt noble families of Cormyr.

I'd say so. Think about any oppressive minority group that gets overthrown. It's usually not pretty.
