A feathered, shrieking aerial raider of the sheer tower who senses the spire and keeps the scream-rings, the spire's feudal, pack, and most certain song.
Creature
Sonar-Sense Bat Man
A folded-wing, grey-brown cavern kin who hunts by sonar and keeps the open caverns, the roosts' quick, patient, and most certain eye.
Creature
Song-Open Earth Goblin
A stone-shaping goblin of the singing tunnels who opens the mountains by hand and song, the cleanest hand and the oldest voice in the range.
Creature
Skin-Keep Selkie
A seal-bodied, skin-keeping watcher of the cold coast who keeps the skin and guards the shore, the shore's clannish, watchful, and most certain hide.
Creature
Song-Carry Harpy
A feathered, shrieking aerial raider of the sheer tower who carries the song and keeps the high rings, the spire's feudal, cunning, and most certain voice.
Creature
Sentence-Carry Serpent Folk
A scaled, marsh-court judge of the coiled towers who carries the coil's sentences and keeps the low coils, the marsh's quick, clannish, and most certain hand.
Creature
Shadow-Word Cat Man
A lean, slate-grey feline kin of the sun-warmth warrens who speaks the shadow word and moves through the dark as if it were a door left open.
Creature
Shovel-Hand Mole Man
A blind, shovel-handed tunnel-sculptor of the river plain who digs the cleanest tunnels in the deep and ranks the packs by the dig, the delve's quick, patient, and most certain eye.
Creature
Shore-Ferry Half-Elf
A long-eared, short-lived middle-kin who keeps the ferries and the two oaths, a little elf and a little human and all middle.
Creature
Shade-Sense Wraith
The tall, narrow, hollow shape — heavy through the jaw, the eyes hollow and grey, the whole of it reading as one word that is waiting for a soul, built to stand in the moor and not move.
Creature
Secret-Keep Fox Man
A red-amber, mask-marked forest kin of the amber woods who keeps the secrets of the hollow and trades them out at exactly the right price.
Creature
Root-Cellar Halfling
A small, root-cellared halfling of the green hills who tends the deep root-cellars and the hill's oldest stores, the hold's patient, remembering, and most certain eye.
Creature
Sack-Weave Air Goblin
A light-boned cliff goblin who weaves the footholds' wind-sacks and mends their ropes, the quiet hand that keeps the city aloft.
Creature
Scent-Judge Venom Goblin
A fanged, gill-rimmed marsh goblin who judges everything, including you, by scent and marks the warrens with its bitter, judging word.
Creature
Scree-Wolf
The thin grey wolf of the ruined hills — the goblin's partner in the long hunt, whose screech is the warren's horn and whose patience is the goblin's own.
Creature
Ring-Build Kraken
A trench leviathan of the deep, 91.44 m of tentacle and madness, who builds the ring and keeps the high coil, the coil's solitary, territorial, and most certain hand.
Creature
Roe Deer
A small, watchful red-brown deer of the forest edge, with a white rump-flash and a short V-shaped antler that drops every winter.
Creature
Red Deer
The great red deer of the open moor, russet coat in summer, iron-grey in winter, crowned with a broad palmate antler that the old world measured by the beam.
Creature
Prismatic Dragons
Rare hybrid dragons born of two or more elemental dragon bloodlines. Each carries the power of multiple elements — and, in the oldest telling, the power of several gods, and can grow to a size the eye does not measure. The first prismatic dragon broke the coast; since then they are forbidden.
Creature
Presence-Carry Dragon Kin
The heavy-jawed line of the moor — broad through the shoulder, the fine scale-patch deep umber along the spine, the whole of it reading as one word that does not need to be finished, because the room already knows it is being said.
Creature
Rapid-Learning Erudite
The tall, lean, deliberate shape of the scriptorium, with a face that is almost a question, and a pair of pale silver-grey eyes that hold the new page a moment longer than a page should be held. It learns the skill in a day the way a human learns it in a season, and the learning is not a choice.
Creature
Pattern-Sight Erudite
The tall, lean, deliberate shape of the scriptorium, with a face that is almost a question, and a pair of pale silver-grey eyes that read the pattern before the page is turned. It sees the shape of the answer a day before the ink is dry, and the seeing is not a choice.
Creature
Peak Gryphon
A lion-fleshed, eagle-winged guardian of the single sheer peak, whose silence is broken only by the oath and the word.
Creature
Pearl-Carry Merfolk
A scaled, finned reef-kin of the living coral city who carries the throne's pearls and keeps the low spires, the throne's quick, clannish, and most certain hand.
