The Northern Plains
From the horrors of the DeathWaste to the hardships of the Tariq Desert
to the plains of Mag Mor, the creatures of Northern Talanu are strong and
strange.
- The Phage
- Phages are the undead spirits of those who died a lingering death from
forced starvation. They can commonly be found in prisons of all sorts, and
in the deep wilderness. Phages are tormented with eternal hunger, but as
they have no bodies they cannot even pretend to eat. As a result, they
hate and resent all living creatures that can still partake of this
wonderful life experience.
- The Truathak
- The Truathak are a magically created race of dragon-like humanoids.
They are the product of magical breeding experiments performed by the
Nemeddians, an ancient race of people who once dwelled in the Great
Tariquan Desert long before the Kaeron first swept across the land.
The OtherWorld
The OtherWorld is host to the fay, all of which are chaotic and
unpredictable, but some are just downright mean.
- The Boggart
- The Boggarts are one of the most despicable examples of dark Fay, and
are disliked even by their Unseelie brethren. They are vile, ill tempered,
and cruel, and take great pleasure in inflicting pain and distress on
others. They are also indiscriminate in their choice of victims, and are
just as likely to eviscerate one of their own kind as a human or animal.
- The Pooka
- Pookas embody the manic, demented genius that permeates the Unseelie
court of Arawn's Otherworld. They are the fire that whips the faithful of
the Cult into a frenzy, then drives them out into this world to wreak
havoc. They themselves enter the real world only to assist the most
favored of the Cult's cells, and even then only in times of dire need.
- Redcap
- The redcap is a giant among the normally diminutive races of the
Otherworld, and it is the stuff of nightmares. The creature
gets its name from the shapless bag of a hat its kind normally wears, a
hat it keeps died dark red with the blood of its
victims.
- Spriggan
- Spriggans are the kobolds of the Otherworld. They are plentiful,
vicious,
and dangerous if ignored. When Arawn brought
his corrupting force to the land, the Spriggans were one of the first of
the Court to emerge from the growing shadows. They
are now the most common of Arawn’s minions, and are the ones most likely
to answer the summoning ritual of a Cult member.
The DeathWaste
The Magical disaster area that divides the Saelis and Tariq deserts is
host to many fierce monsters.
Miscellaneous
- Naugrim
-
The Naugrim are an example of natural balance. They exist and have
evolved with the sole purpose of hunting Illithid. They have crafted new
kinds of weapons and cultivated a virulent poison to help them in their
task. And physically and magically, they have evolved special abilities
and defenses keyed towards Illithid.
