Names
Monsters
Firewyrm for Sacred Forest
- A Creation of the Mother of Monsters to bring warmth to the Sacred Forest and act as a protector and guardian. It exists to direct and manipulate the magma beneath this area and warm the water so that it bubbles to the surface as hotsprings. The firewyrm with too much zeal has forced many geysers to the surface which has alarmed the nymphs a great deal. This has also forced to the surface many of the natural gems that the firewyrm occasionally eats.
Gravedirt Dragon
- A Creation of the Mother of Monsters to protect the relic of the firstborn. Infused with Fury and Anger, she imbued with with power of protection and defense. Using the remains of Shayrsynth, Ea-Doragh Mahdra animated the bones to perform this task, connecting them with magic. This was unlike her normal creations that she birthed and thus she petitioned the Demigoddess of Undeath to aid her creation. This strange fusion of their divinities resulted in a being with some instabilities but still great power. Earthern Curses that lives in the bones of the creation threatened to explode outward with every step and sound. The gravedirt that held it together made bones grows dark as the rich soil absorbed into them. Magical roots act as blood red tendons that bind the bones and dirt together and gives it strength as it slams a bony claw onto the stone rumbling the ground beneath it. Then another claw and another and another. The bony tail whips behind it spraying loose dirt along the ground. The pale light of life within the constructed eyeholes of the creation watched the landscape in front of it.
Aristolochio, The Lord of the Dance
- Aristolochio is a large imposing figure. Tauric in form, with a human-like torso atop a deer-like body, he stands over two meters tall and weighs more than you'd think. A pair of branching antlers sprouts from his head. These antlers shed every winter and regrow in the spring. His irises are rectangular and golden in color. His home is the Sacred Forest which is charged with protecting and overseeing by the Mother of Monsters, his own mother. While his antlers are grown, he is bound to the Sacred Forest, but during the winter he is free to roam the world. He seems to greatly enjoy wandering the world over. One of his favorite pastimes is to play music and dance. He also has a nasty penchant for seducing young women and men of the human and elven races. Wherever he goes, stories are likely to follow of debauched orgies in a nearby forest glade. Another reason he gets away with this is his own natural penchant for green magic. All in all Aristolochio is a force for mischief and chaos in the world. But in the Sacred Forest he is a guardian and lord. The only being there he cannot sway with his charms is the Firewyrm, his sibling. Thus, some might learn that the Firewyrm is one of the easiest ways to control Aristolochio in turn. Well, that and his mother or one of the other gods. Still, for now, he is the only known being who can impregnate the nymphs and increase their numbers. So far, all their offspring seem to also be nymphs. In fact, all his children have been female. What it would mean or what would happen should he have a son is hard to know. Perhaps he is simply not capable of it per Mother's wishes?
