That is exactly it the shadowlords have no involvement only a remnant of the shadowlord in ethereal form remains in the rift not the actual shadowlord.
There really is a good chance the shadowlords had nothing to do with this and that it is all the time lord causing it or something even worse.

The Time Lord appears to be on our side. (For the moment anyway.)
See
this thread.
Towards the end, someone posts the actual dialogue that took place before the black gate that could bring us back to real Moonglow.
Add to this the fact that Draconi stated, definitively, in another thread that the Shadowlords are now loose, thanks to the blackrock detector.
1. The Shadowlords are definitely loose in the "real" world (meaning are loose from their realm, in Britannia proper someplace);
2. They definitely killed Kornos (no loss there, the moron);
3. It is definitely their minions we're fighting in the rift;
4. One of them at least (Astaroth, the Shadowlord of Hate) was behind at least one of the recent events (the attacks on the Shrines of Love);
5. The reason we're fighting their "echoes" left in the Void is that the "real things" are somewhere loose in Britannia proper.
Yes, the Shadowlords are behind this.
Why this isn't clear to Avery is beyond me....He wasn't there when the Rift opened up, and he's probably helping his bosses to control the flow of information, maybe?
Ruling Council: Go to Moonglow, set up some guards, and wait. And emphasize to everyone that there's no evidence the Shadowlords are involved.
Avery: But witnesses....
Ruling Council: There's no evidence that they were involved.
Avery: Aye.
