Creature
Hearth-Keeper Fire Goblin
A small, patient volcanic goblin who tends the caldera's magma lake as a hearth, keeping the fire banked for the pack through every slow season.
Creature
Height-Sight Drake
The tall, thin shape of the high ledge — light through the shoulder, the crest narrow, the amber eyes wide for the height, the whole of it built to see the pit from the top and to choose, one word at a time, which quarrel is worth the dive.
Creature
Hollow-Oak Wolf-Man
A furred forest-kin of the conifers who lives in the carved hollow oaks and keeps the pack as a promise, not a family.
Creature
Howl-Keeper Gnoll
A heavy-jawed, dry-brown hyena-packer of the bone-totem savanna who keeps the howl and leads the pack, the steppe's aggressive, social, and most certain voice.
Creature
Idea-Brand Gnome
A brass-rimmed workshop gnome of the hollows who brands new ideas onto the wrist and ranks the clan by invention, not age.
Creature
Innate-Speaker Demon
The heavy, low, slightly-too-broad shape of the pit, built dense and low with a network of fine, pale red veins at the temples that glow when a dark word is spoken. It speaks its dark magic without preparation, with its hands, at any time, and the speaking is the whole of the bargain.
Creature
Iron-Tusk
The giant boar of the deep barrens, a beast of eight hands with a bristle coat of iron-grey and a single great tusk that curves like a scythe.
Creature
Leave-Carry Selkie
A seal-bodied, skin-keeping watcher of the cold coast who carries the shore's leaves and keeps the low shore, the shore's quick, clannish, and most certain hand.
Creature
Line-Sworn Hobgoblin
An iron-skinned goblin soldier of the bastion who holds the drill-line, for whom a formation held steady is a prayer and a word kept.
Creature
Litter-Sense Chimera
A three-parted beast of the mosaic crags — lion-front, goat-mid, serpent-tail — who senses the litter and keeps the brood, the crag's pack, territorial, and most certain mouth.
Creature
Map-Keep Mole Man
A blind, shovel-handed tunnel-sculptor of the river plain who carries the map in memory and keeps the deep's oldest tunnels, the delve's patient, clannish, and most certain voice.
Creature
Maze-Memory Minotaur
A horned, labyrinthine keeper of the black-stone maze who remembers the maze and walks the corridors blind, the labyrinth's clannish, honor-bound, and most certain turn.
Creature
Melt-Carry Ooze
The low, wide, wet shape — heavier through the back than the edge, the amber running deep and unbroken, the whole of it built to hold the melt and give it back across the pool, reading as one word that has already been said.
Creature
Memory-Sense Siren
A vocal, grey-plumed coast-kin of the broken cliffs who senses the memory and keeps the low cliffs, the coast's patient, exact, and most certain voice.
Creature
Mire-Bear
A sleek black bear of the bogs and cold streams, with a cat-like face, short claws, and a paddling stroke that keeps it under the dark water.
Creature
Mire-Read Bugbear
A hulking, club-jawed swamp-ambusher of the mire who reads the standing water by sound and shadow and treats the dry land as a place to avoid.
Creature
Mirror-Sense Kelpie
A horse-shaped, water-bound reader of the mirror-still bog who senses the mirror and keeps the mirror-rings, the bog's solitary, cunning, and most certain lure.
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
Oath-Weaver Halfling
A small, root-cellared halfling of the green hills who weaves the old oaths and keeps them, the hill's patient, remembering, and most certain voice.
Creature
Oath-Weight Minotaur
A horned, labyrinthine keeper of the black-stone maze who weighs the oath and keeps the high corridors, the labyrinth's clannish, social, and most certain hand.
Creature
One-Breath Drake
The long, coiled shape of the pit — heavy through the shoulder, the crest long, the amber eyes flat, the whole of it built around one breath that does not come back and one dive that ends the argument.
Creature
Orchard-Tender Half-Elf
A long-eared, short-lived middle-kin who tends the border's orchards and the two harvests, a little elf and a little human and all patience.
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.
