By name By date

Creature Spire-Sense 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 a single record bead at the throat. It feels the silence's mood a day before it is broken, and the feeling is not a choice.

Creature Spire-Sight Naga A serpent-bodied, green-gold scaled judge of the temple-spires who sees from the highest spire and keeps the court's long word, the spire's feudal, clannish, and most certain eye.

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 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-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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.
