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

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.

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.

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.

The copper-eyed toad of the deep marsh — 30 cm of patience that the ogres keep for the drip, and that the drip keeps for them.
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.
