Kumori Size: 15 ft - 30 ft The kumori are bear-like creatures with fur that typically appears in light shades of yellow, pink, purple, blue, or green. They are most often found in arid regions, having adapted to hot, waterless environments. In the desert, their wide paws and springy legs allow them to run and bounce effortlessly across the sands. Kumori are also known for climbing trees, even those that reach into the clouds. It is unknown what their limit for a safe fall dis

The Silver Sand Dunes Subregions: The Silver Sands Oasis Flora: Cloudroot Trees Fauna: Kumori, Polari On the western side of the Akaptor Desert, the sands take on a silver hue, with dunes rising and falling like a pale mountain range. Here, the sand behaves like a slow-moving sea with currents flowing beneath the surface, though there is no water to be found outside of the oasis. Dune migrations are caused not only by the wind, but also by the flow of the sand itself, which i

Typically found in arid environments, Cloudroot Trees get their name from where their roots are located—in the clouds. Adventurers have also taken to calling them Cloud Vines because of their often vine-like appearance. The spores, or “cloud seeds,” that create the trees float upward until they reach their optimal altitude, gathering moisture along the way. A cloud forms around the cloud seed as it begins to take root within it. After a period of time, the tree grows downward

(Notice: Tales From Torin takes place before Torin Youth.) The morning has already gotten off to a rough start for Atreus. He sits in his class at the Campus Taiyo military academy, trying to understand what caused Rhea to erupt at him before storming out of the room. Most of the students are present now, and so is the instructor, but only a few witnessed what took place earlier. The daughter of the Taiyo family has yet to return to class, which is even more troubling conside

(Notice: Tales From Torin takes place before Torin Youth.) On a sunny afternoon on Crystal Island—known elsewhere as Iracal Island—a giant harpy alights outside an abandoned mine called the Crystal-light Caverns. At 32 meters—107 feet—in height, the bronze-skinned harpy with white hair and feathers towers above other creatures. Yet, in this world, there is nothing unusual about her. Even at her height, she is surrounded by trees of far greater size. Her shoulder-length hair i

Rock Harpies are most commonly found in the Great Rocky Fields. They are slightly larger on average than common giant harpies, and their feathers typically range in color from beige to orange to brown. Their talons are well suited for digging into the ground—and even the rock-hard surface of a mountain—making them a nightmare for explorers who attempt to hide from them in mines. If there is no hole through which a harpy can draw her prey using her infamous “vacuum breath,” a
