It is said among the Old Pahr people that a pessimist is someone who thinks that things couldn’t be any worse--and that an optimist believes that it can! Pushing aside the old wives tale that a surfeit of strong drink drives men to melancholy, learned men attribute this pervading culture gloom to the overabundance of malevolent spirits and faeries in that people’s mythology. A particularly nasty example of the inimical Pahr spirit is the vodník, a male water nymph of a particularly sour and murderous nature. Vodník often lurk at the edges of lakes and rivers waiting for lone wanderers or small groups of village folk. Vodník are invisible in the the water before they strike, but rise as a translucent serpent when they do. Each strike does damage but worse is that the spirit serpent attempts to drag the victim down to a watery doom. Once the Vodník has a victim under water it shifts into its true form, a pot-bellied old man covered in slimy scales, and concentrates on drowning the hapless victim.

The primary residents of the Golden Barge are, despite outward appearances, neither undead nor properly among the living. The ghuls believe themselves to be the zealous adherents of a redemptive sect that cleanses the sins of the sentient living through the ritual consumption of their flesh--a doctrine they enthusiastically expound upon even during the throes of combat. In reality they are by-products of the vessel itself, antibodies of the barge’s biomechanical system. Instinct: Cleanse the sins of the living

• Eat your flesh
• Detect invisible creatures
• Call for more ghuls from the spawning room

The moon wants what it wants, but it can be denied. Most cannot do it entirely so instead our bodies rebel, and our minds with them. Tapping into some primordial bloodline or pact or long lost chapter of our collective history. What becomes of those who can rebel in such a fashion is not pretty, but it is certainly fascinating. However when this happens to those who have some talent for magic is even more fascinating, the primordial beasthood that takes ahold of them is mired by their mystical abilities, manifesting in wilder arrangements and arc-ing off of them haphazardly, but still retaining some element of intelligence enough to be able to deploy such abilities willingly.

Mah Gahuuldra, the God-king, finally met his match. The noble sorcerer Yeorian was torn apart facing the evil tyrant but spoke one final spell that melted away the flesh and bone.
