Creature
Element-Sense Elemental
The shape of the element itself — a column of orange-gold flame with a face that is only a suggestion, a white-hot core where the face should be, and a heat that reads as a person at a distance and as a landscape up close. It feels the Veil thinning a day before it opens, and the feeling is not a choice.
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
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
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
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
Call-Carry Deep One
A pale, gill-bellied deep-kin of the pressure vaults who carries the call and keeps the high vaults, the vault's clannish, shy, and most certain voice.
Creature
Cavern-Sense Basilisk
The low, broad wall of the dark — heavy through the ridge, the head low, the ivory gaze-ring wet and bright, built to sit still for a long time and spend one look that does not come back.
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
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
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
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
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
Debt-Carry Leech Folk
A pale, quick parasitic marsh-kin of the blood pits who carries the debt and keeps the shallow rings, the pit's clannish, quick, and most certain edge.
Creature
Deep-Sense Kraken
A trench leviathan of the deep, 91.44 m of tentacle and madness, who senses the deep and keeps the lair, the coil's solitary, territorial, and most certain hunger.
Creature
Divine-Awareness Angel
The tall, narrow, slightly-too-clean line of the highest plane, with a pair of true wings folded at the back in a soft ivory to pale gold range and a pair of large, clear pale gold eyes. Its awareness reaches across the vigil, and the reaching 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
