By name By date

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 Melt-Sense Ooze The low, wide, wet shape — heavy through the surface, with no head at all, only a slow, deliberate rise and fall, the amber gone dull at the edge of the melt-ring, the whole of it reading as one word that is waiting for a meal.

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 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 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 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 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 Hill-Sense Satyr The goat-legged, low, heavy shape of the vine-tangled hill, with a thick brown coat and a pair of true, curling horns in bone-white. It feels the hill's mood a day before the party ends, and the feeling is not a choice.

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 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 High-Fang Wolf The silver wolf of the high country — 70 cm of honour that the orcs keep for the war, and that the war keeps for them.

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 Hall-Keep Earth Goblin A stone-shaping goblin of the singing tunnels who keeps the geode hall and its pale light, the range's memory and its most patient voice.

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.

Creature Glimmerwood Fae A beautiful, cruel kin of the shifting forest, bound by promise, for a promise kept is the only thing they respect.

Creature Grove-Sense Bear Man A massive, deep-brown furred kin of the deep forest who feels the grove-sense and keeps the open ground, the hold's patient, territorial, and most certain eye.

Creature Gem-Appraise Kobold A small, furnace-scarred tinkerer of the gem-mine who prices every stone by the light and keeps the landlord's rent honest, gem by gem.

Creature Glass Dragon A galleon-sized philosopher of the plane's edge, whose body has taken the roost's fire and kept only the glass, so where the other dragons burn it sees.

Creature Fen-Owl A ghostly white-and-buff owl of the fens, with a heart-shaped face, a silent wing, and eyes that burn like a lantern in the dark.

Creature Glimmerwood Elf A long-lived keeper of the wood's long word, patient as the pale light that never stays in one place.

Creature Furnace-Tender Kobold A small, furnace-scarred tinkerer of the gem-mine who tends the forge-fire and the line of the anvil, the mine's patient, remembering, and most steady hand.

Creature Forge-Keeper Hobgoblin An iron-skinned goblin of the bastion who keeps the forge-fire and the line of the anvil, the range's patient, remembering, and most steady hand.

Creature Gill-Deep Water Goblin A gill-rimmed goblin of the drowned cave network who lives under the waves in chambers no chart has mapped, breathing the water as if it were air.
