Uaellaen's Chronicles

Creature Vigil-Carry Revenant The lean, quick shape of the oath-line — thin through the jaw, the hand long and certain, the whole of it built to carry the oath across the gate and to spend one word the size of a promise on the stranger who is worth the soul.

Creature Gate-Sense Revenant The tall, narrow, pale shape — heavy through the jaw and shoulder, the eyes pale and gate-white, the whole of it reading as one word that is waiting for an oath, built to stand at the gate and not move.

Creature Ossuary-Sense Lich The tall, bone-clad shape of the ossuary — the ribs showing through the pale hide, the hand too long, the whole of it reading as one promise that the ossuary keeps and the anchor will not break.

Creature Spell-Carry Lich The lean, quick shape of the anchor-line — thin through the ribcage, the hand long and certain, the whole of it built to carry the spell across the ossuary and to spend one word the size of a promise on the stranger who is worth the soul.

Creature Moan-Carry Wraith The lean, quick shape of the moor — thin through the jaw, the shade long, the whole of it built to carry the moan across the moor and to spend a soul the size of a whisper on the stranger who is worth the shade.

Creature Name-Carry Vampire The lean, quick shape of the debt-line — thin through the jaw, the fang long and certain, the whole of it built to carry the debt across the crypt and to spend a bite the size of a whisper on the stranger who is worth the name.

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 Bone-Carry Skeleton The lean, quick shape of the field — thin through the ribcage, the finger-bones long, the whole of it built to carry the walk-line and to spend a nod the size of a whisper on the stranger who is worth the grave.

Creature Crypt-Sense Vampire The tall, narrow, pale shape — heavy through the jaw and shoulder, the eyes the red of kept blood, the whole of it reading as one word that is waiting for a name, built to stand in the crypt and not move.

Creature Grave-Sense Skeleton The tall, narrow, white shape — heavy through the ribcage, the head a little too high on the body, the whole of it reading as one word that is waiting for a joint, built to stand in the field and not move.

Race Liches Bone-clad, soul-anchored necromancers of the ossuary. They do not die, they do not forget, and they consider the anchor a promise the ossuary keeps for them.

Race Skeletons Animated dead. Mindless thralls or willed revenants — the bones that refuse to rest.

Race Wraiths Shade-born, hollow-eyed stalkers of the moor. They do not touch, they do not rest, and they consider the moan a promise the moor keeps.

Race Vampires Pale, fanged night-lords of the crypt. They do not age, they do not die, and they consider the ledger of blood a promise the crypt keeps.
