By name By date

Creature Current-Carry Lizard Man A scaled, amphibious patient reptilian of the marshes and river deltas who carries the delta's goods and people through the current, the delta's quick, clannish, and most certain hand.

Creature Drag-Carry Kelpie A horse-shaped, water-bound reader of the mirror-still bog who carries the drag and keeps the shallow rings, the bog's solitary, cunning, and most certain hand.

Creature Gale-Hawk A rufous hawk of the dry steppe, with a hooked beak, a sharp eye, and wings that ride the thermal from the hot ground to the cold sky.

Creature Frost-Bear A great shaggy brown bear of the frostfields, with a shoulder hump and claws like scythes, that digs the winter stores out of the snow.

Creature Echo-Read Bat Man A folded-wing, grey-brown cavern kin who reads the echo and keeps the dark, the cavern's patient, territorial, and most certain voice.

Creature Drip-Sense Slime The low, small, wet shape of the dripping cavern, the one that feels the meal a day before it lands. Its surface is a constant faint green, its leading edge a clean bone-white, and the drip is the only conversation it has ever trusted.

Creature Feline-Grace Cat Man A lean, umber feline kin of the sun-warmth warrens who moves with the feline grace and keeps the open warrens, the tribes' quick, proud, and most certain eye.

Creature Fang-Hound The grey-blue warhound of the hold — 55 kg of loyalty that the orcs keep for the word, and that the word keeps for them.

Creature Duty-Sense Golem The blocky, heavy, deliberate shape of the forge, built from fitted blocks of dark grey granite with darker seams and a pair of pale amber eyes that never blink. It feels the duty thinning a day before it breaks, and the feeling is not a choice.

Creature Door-Keep Siren A vocal, grey-plumed coast-kin of the broken cliffs who keeps the door and guards the high cliffs, the coast's patient, exact, and most certain voice.

Creature Deep-Sleep Bear Man A massive, deep-brown furred kin of the deep forest who hibernates as a sacred rite and keeps the grove's long sleep, the hold's patient, honor-bound voice.

Creature Dark-Sight Observer The tall, narrow, robed shape of the silent city, faceless under the hood, with a pale robe the color of old spire-stone and pale eyes that see the dark the way the surface sees the light. It sees the dark the way the surface sees the light, and the seeing is not a choice.

Creature Dark-Sight Basilisk The thin, quick shape of the deep dark — small through the ridge, the eye wide and pale, the whole of it built to see what the stone will not light, and to spend a look the size of a whisper.

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 Crag-Sense Manticore A lion-bodied, scorpion-tailed, bat-winged beast of the bare crag who senses the crag and keeps the sting-rings, the crag's territorial, aggressive, and most certain sting.

Creature Clutch-Carry Cockatrice A crested, serpent-tailed fowl of the bare cliff roost who carries the clutch and keeps the high rings, the roost's territorial, cunning, and most certain wing.

Creature Anvil-Singer Dwarf An iron-skinned deep-dwelling dwarf of the delve who sings the forge-fire and the anvil, the clan's patient, remembering, and most steady voice.

Creature Brook-Salmon The great silver fish of the deep brook — 30 kg of the toll's own meat, and the only prey in the world that the trolls consider an honour to take.

Creature Bridge-Spawn The young of the toll-trolls — grey-green and slow to anger, near-impossible to kill, and the only beast in the world that collects its own toll.

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 Brood-Carry Chimera A three-parted beast of the mosaic crags — lion-front, goat-mid, serpent-tail — who carries the brood and keeps the high rings, the crag's pack, cunning, and most certain tail.

Creature Bone-Read Crow Man A black-plumed, watch-marked carrion kin of the great tree-city who reads the bones and keeps the low roosts, the roosts' curious, clannish, and most certain eye.

Creature Ashen-Reach Human A short-lived, endlessly ambitious builder of the old fields and the new towns, who keeps their many oaths and their short, sharp, and very loud lives.

Creature Bitter-Distill Venom Goblin A fanged, gill-rimmed marsh goblin who distills the poison of the rust-colored fen and marks the warrens' still air with a bitter, green word.
