1. Shadowbinders:
Deep within the dusk-covered forest dwell the Shadowbinders—creatures formed from living darkness. Their forms are hazy, drifting between trees like rippling shadows. With elongated limbs, they ensnare the light itself, binding the souls of those who wander too close. Legends say anyone marked by a Shadowbinder loses their shadow forever, becoming part of its eternal gloom.
2. Craghowlers:
High atop the thunder-split peaks roam the Craghowlers—massive beasts clad in jagged stone armor. Their silhouettes loom like boulders come to life. When storms gather, they unleash bone-shaking howls that echo through the mountains, resonating with lightning and wind. It’s said their roar can crack cliffs and herald the arrival of catastrophe.
3. Mirelings:
In the heart of the cursed swamp lurk the Mirelings—ooze-bound creatures born of forgotten sorcery. They disguise themselves with rotting branches and bones, waiting silently in the muck. Only the faint, sickly glow of their eyes betrays them. Step too close, and they’ll coil around your limbs, dragging you into the mire’s depths, never to surface again.
