Sigil Bestiary – Dragon Turtle

A figure of such mythic proportions, that no one is truly sure whether only one Dragon Turtle exists or whether there is a whole species of them. No one who has claimed to kill a Dragon Turtle has ever brought a carcass back to shore to prove it, and no ship has ever spotted more than one together. However, this only raises more questions. If there is only one Dragon Turtle, how did it came to be? Is it the last remaining member of a long forgotten species? Was it created specifically by the gods or some aetheric power? What is it, and what does it want? Unfortunately, the Dragon Turtle

Sigil Emporium – Timeless Spear

There are many men who believe that this is not the only world that exists; that beyond the aether lies a vast ocean filled with worlds to be explored. Yet, there are a few men who believe that there is a near infinite number of worlds that exist right alongside ours, invisible to us but real all the same. They say that whenever anyone makes a decision, a new world is birthed to house the consequences of the choice not made. The evidence for this, they say, lies within the nature of the Timeless Spear. The Spear has the unique quality of always being in the hand of the person who

Sigil Bestiary – Harpy

Harpies are chimeric creatures, with the heads and torsos of maidens and the wings legs and tail-feathers of vultures. Legends say that they were made to be servants of the gods, but if that is the case, one can only wonder at what service the gods truly had in mind. This is due to the Harpies’ unending hatred for mankind. There has never been any peace between the beasts and humanity, and with the number of ships wrecked against the lands’ cliffs, peace seems a far off dream. Many men have been deceived by the Harpies, who use their youthful appearance to lure men closer. If their beautiful faces can’t do

Sigil Emporium – Animius

Myths say that the first sword in existence was granted a soul by a god and carried with him through the heavens. The constellation still marks the passage of the god and his living sword as they patrol the cosmos, rooting out chaos where they find. Inspired by legend, an ingenious enchanter set out to create his own sentient sword. He nearly made it just as the myths stated, but could never create a soul for it, and each subsequent enchanter who attempted to perfect his technique fell into the same trap. Instead of having its own soul, the Animius (as the first enchanter called it) shares a soul with its

Sigil Bestiary – Wraith

Wraiths are the souls of those who couldn’t imagine a world without life; a spirit that refuses to accept that it has passed beyond its mortal coil; a ghost of envy and darkness. Much like those spirits with unfinished business, Wraiths cannot pass on to the next phase of existence because of their insurmountable desire to be alive again. This desire has so consumed them that they have little else. All personality, wishes, emotions and dreams have been subsumed within this one great wish: to become alive. There is nothing they will not do become a living person again. A Wraith’s desire for life has become its greatest weapon against the
