Creatures of Milieu

Messengers of the Quiet Road.

Silent travellers who answer only to the Innkeeper — many dismiss them as birds; the wise do not.

The Returned Dead.

Ancient corpses animated by corruption — they retain enough of life to become a mockery of it.

Hunters of the Damned.

Massive predators that hunt by scent, fear, and spiritual corruption — their arrival often signals that something far worse follows.

The most commonly encountered servants of Sheol.

Individually weak compared to the Fallen, they appear in great numbers and delight in fear, confusion, and destruction.

The Whispering Dead.

Manifestations of spiritual corruption who rarely attack — they deceive, they whisper, they persuade.

The Ancient Enemy — the oldest corruption known to exist.

The oldest corruption known to exist — it does not merely destroy life, but seeks to distort order itself.

Ancient beings who once stood in service before choosing rebellion.

Intelligent and purposeful, the Fallen stand far above lesser demons — many remain unnamed, and most are better left so.

The Deceiver — an ancient servant of darkness.

Where the Dragon seeks dominion, the Serpent seeks surrender — preferring corruption to destruction.

The Unquiet Shadows.

Neither fully living nor fully dead, Wraiths drift through darkness seeking warmth, memory, and fear.

Legends of the Deep.

Lights moving beneath the sea floor and shapes that observe vessels without approaching — the Library refuses to answer.

The Sleeper Beneath the Waves.

Ancient beings of the deep waters of Tulon — not driven by corruption, but older than kingdoms and most surviving records.

Guardians of the Abyss.

Ancient schools of enormous fish that follow the Leviathans — a blessing or a warning, depending upon the season.
