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

Restored by the Torinian Librarian, Daphne Logos . Harpies pass down their history orally through dedicated keepers, rendering the study of their culture and traditions difficult for humans. In his work, Harpy Myths and Legends , the renowned Torinian historian Heseodorus recorded the creation story of Felarya as told by the giant harpies. Though only fragments of his text remain, we are fortunate that long-lived harpies dwelling in Torin City have preserved what was lost and

(Art property of Karbo) The Cursed Blade of Y’allthilagiekk is actually called the Blade of Gunvor (sometimes pronounced Gunt-vor). In truth, the sword was never cursed; it became corrupted. As the legend goes, when Gunvor the Great of Ur-Sagol forsook using the magical sword for defense only—as was intended by the elemental who forged it—and began seeking powerful souls to feed the blade, driven by her own increasing bloodthirst, her infamy spread far and wide as she marched

Around the year 868 AU, sphinxes throughout the continent watched harpies with growing concern. A power vacuum had been created by the fall of the dridder empire, and the “power-hungry vultures” seemed to be circling. The sphinxes were not interested in filling that void themselves, nor were they opposed to another empire rising. What the sphinxes could not abide was either of the ignoble harpy matriarchs asserting herself as the new empress. They established an Order, bindin

These are concept sketches for Ourana's court in Torin City. It is the place where the senate and the queen convene. It’s a monumental building with an open ceiling over the space where Ourana sits, or squats (as harpies do). Originally, Ourana had absolute power but overtime she relinquished some of her authority and gave the Torinian people a senate that she promised to respect the voice of. I've written about Ourana in the past—about how she began as a megalomaniac with d

(A sketch of Azora about to snag a sailor for a meal) Danger Level: Normal Occurrence: Common (in the Shimmering Sea) Found primarily in the Shimmering Sea and along the coasts, Sea Striders are a mid-sized species of harpy , standing about 50 feet (15 meters) in height. Their plumage is typically a very light color (but never white) and, like most things in the Shimmering Sea, it sparkles when struck with light. Because of this glittery plumage, they often have a rainbow-l

Race: Angel Threat: Unknown Morgana lives in the realm of folklore. Her existence has never been confirmed and may very well be entirely fabricated. Perhaps the tales of Morgana endure as a way for the people of Felarya to explain the inexplicable. Some things simply happen; there seems to be no rhyme or reason, no good or ill fortune to blame—right? Or could it be the unseen hand of Morgana, tending unseen threads and guiding events toward ends no one can fully comprehend?
