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
Bone-Read Gnoll
A heavy-jawed, dry-brown hyena-packer of the bone-totem savanna who reads the bones and keeps the low totems, the steppe's aggressive, social, and most certain eye.
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.
Creature
Bargain-Carry Demon
The heavy, low, slightly-too-broad shape of the pit, built dense and low with a deep muddy umber skin and fine pale red veins at the temples. Its bargain carries across the pit the way the fire carries across the ash, and the carrying is not a choice.
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
Ash-Crow
A black crow of the ashfields, glossed blue, with the sharpest eye of the flock and a memory that keeps the hand that feeds it.
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
Amber-Eye Fox Man
A red-amber, mask-marked forest kin of the amber woods who reads the amber-light and the faces in it, the hollow's cunning, social, and most certain eye.
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
Roost-Sense Cockatrice
A crested, serpent-tailed fowl of the bare cliff roost who senses the roost and keeps the hundred-egg nest, the roost's territorial, aggressive, and most certain hiss.
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
Dawn-Chorus High Elf
A golden-skinned singer of the silver city who holds the dawn in their voice, keeping the city's spell-songs steady through every turn of the tide.
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
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
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
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
Prismatic Dragons
Rare hybrid dragons born of two or more elemental dragon bloodlines. Each carries the power of multiple elements — and, in the oldest telling, the power of several gods, and can grow to a size the eye does not measure. The first prismatic dragon broke the coast; since then they are forbidden.
Creature
Pressure-Sense Deep One
A pale, gill-bellied deep-kin of the pressure vaults who senses the pressure and keeps the low vaults, the vault's clannish, shy, and most certain pull.
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
Pit-Sense Leech Folk
A pale, quick parasitic marsh-kin of the blood pits who senses the pit and keeps the ledger, the pit's clannish, shy, and most certain bite.
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.
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
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.
Rule
The Veil
How casting works in Uaellaen's Chronicles — the four steps, the cost ladder, and what the mana meter actually measures.
