Ky looked back at her with a little smile and nod. “They are fascinating. Especially since some are true now.”

"We'll need to collect context and correspond with other Tale Masters," she mused. "Maybe get some scouts out to see if they can make contact with the less dangerous subjects of the stories."

Ky blinked. “How'd they find them?”

"Oh gods, I have no clue. Some of these creatures move around. Others would be easier to pinpoint."

Yra thought for a moment. "Well, the Three Brothers mostly stick to the Fallen Lands, as far as I know. But they come down from the mountains on occasion. Stone Mother and the Marrow Man wander, as does the Moldling."

(Gonna make 13 more Northern Realm Cryptids right here right now)

(I have lots of hunt-based monsters already but I'm gonna try and get one monster for each Magnus Archives fear like the nerd I am)

"The Three Brothers are a trio of men who dedicated themselves to the forging of weapons. They mine in the mountains, and it's said their iron is the strongest in the world, but they're fiercely protective of their secrets. The god of war, Strithr, granted them immortality so they could work for eternity. The Moldling is a beast that buries its prey alive to preserve them and eats the soft bits."

(Haha omg that’s amazing. I only have the two beasts I told you about already but this is making me want more lol)

Ky blinked at her, eyes wide. “Hopefully the Moldling is fake… why do the brothers make weapons? Who gets them?”

(Old pagan/folktale beasts are the best kind)

(I get so tired of friendly majestic fairies and elves; give me nasty crusty creachurs!)

"The brothers make weapons nowadays because they've been given no order to stop. But back in the days when the gods were awake, they would sell their weapons or give them away to Strithr's favorites. If Strithr chose one side in a war, that side would receive weapons made by the brothers."

(Haha yes! I honestly just cram animals together haha like the scelinons are a giant scorpion but it’s feet are paws with sharp claws and it’s head is a cat. Scorpion… feline… I’m really not creative xD)

“Huh…” Ky rubbed her chin thoughtfully. “I wonder if they want friends, too… the moldling is on its own.”

Pratik laughed.

(Scorpion felines are one of the best combos though)

"Only one way to find out." She came back down the ladder with more books. "But I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to try; they're quite far North of here."
