Bestiary
The land of Embervale is teeming with dangers and mysteries, inhabited by a wide variety of corrupted and wild beings, each with its own dark history.
The Fell
Once people and animals of the land, the Fell are now twisted by the corrupting influence of the Shroud—a creeping, fungal fog that spreads across Embervale like a living disease. These creatures are deformed, their flesh consumed by fungal growths, their minds lost to madness. Some retain a faint echo of their former selves, making their tragic existence even more terrifying. The Shroud itself pulses through their veins, binding them to its malevolent will.
Scavengers
Driven mad by overuse of the Elixir, these once-human scavengers now roam the wastelands in a frenzied state. Their eyes glow with an unnatural light, and their skin is marred by chemical burns from the potent substances they ingest. Desperation fuels their violence, and they attack anything in sight, eager for more Elixir to satiate their growing addiction. Scavengers are unpredictable, aggressive, and dangerous—creatures of chaos.
The Vukah
The elusive Vukah, a sentient species of animal-like beings, have begun to dominate the untamed regions of Embervale. Standing upright with fur-covered bodies, they possess a strange mix of primal strength and cunning intelligence. Similar in appearance to a cross between an Ewok and a Wookie, the Vukah use primitive technology and guerrilla tactics to protect their lands. They may seem primitive, but their keen survival instincts and fierce territorial nature make them formidable opponents.
The Hollow
Cursed and eternal, the Hollow are the restless undead that wander the cursed plains and dark corners of Embervale. Their flesh rots away, but their spirits remain tethered to the mortal world by dark magic. Drained of emotion and purpose, these tragic figures seek out the living, drawn to their warmth and life force. Beware their hollow eyes, for they see no future—only eternal hunger.
Flora of Embervale
The plant life of Embervale is as dangerous as its inhabitants, adapted to the dark magic and corruption that plagues the land.
Fauna of Embervale
The wildlife of Embervale is a mix of corrupted beasts and natural predators, many of which have adapted to the harsh environment
Passive Creatures
Not all animals in Embervale are deadly. Some, like the Goats and Hophare (large, long-eared rabbits), are peaceful creatures, content to graze and hop along the fields. Even amidst the chaos, domesticated animals like dogs and cats can still be found, loyal companions to those lucky enough to have them.
