Codex of Creatures

Phoenix:

The Phoenix is one of the first three animals created on Yrneh. It was born from the spirit of Naör, who created it first. He gave it the role of watching over the skies and maintaining a single mild and sunny season. The Phoenix was captured and killed by Fulk Arken during the First Cycle. Once held captive, the Dark Lord drank its blood and then soaked in it the armor he had forged. It became completely impregnated with it. Mortally wounded by the torture inflicted on it by Fulk Arken, the Firebird burst entirely into flames and disappeared without leaving any ashes behind.

Ourobouros:

The Ourobouros is the protective serpent of the earth. It was created just after the Phoenix by Floëls. She gave it the role of ensuring the coherence of everything linked to the earth's crust. It acted deep beneath the surface. After a long hunt, the Dark Lord dragged it from its refuge and captured it in order to kill it, to steal its skin and use it to produce the most impenetrable and durable armor in Yrneh. Fulk Arken claims to have killed it, but no one has ever found the remains of this legendary creature.

Leviathan:

The Leviathan is the third Fundamental and the largest of all. It is also the most powerful, since it was the guardian of the seas and governed the winds and sea currents. Fulk Arken managed to flush it out and, in a titanic struggle, to tear out one of its teeth, from which he created Levïaïa, the most formidable weapon in the world. The Leviathan's size does not allow the Dark Lord to kill it, but legends say that fearsome monsters were born from its wound. After having fallen victim to Fulk Arken, the Leviathan disappeared into the depths of the oceans and never appeared again. Some say it is dead, but obscure prophecies declare that it will rise again to the surface and that, like the Phoenix and the Ourobouros, it will play a role.

Anthropomorphic creatures

Golems:

Golems are artificial beings created by the Gaïanor and served as their personal attendants. They are made from various materials such as clay, steel or water. None remains... to this day!

Dragons:

One of the oldest, if not the oldest, animal races in Yrneh after the Fundamentals. They are flying, immensely powerful creatures entirely devoted to Naör and divided into several clans according to their category (ice, water, earth, fire...). The race of Dragons, the most powerful of which were the fire dragons led by Tenerius, is now extinct in Yrneh...

Sea Serpents:

These are the offspring of the Leviathan. They were born from the wounds that Fulk Arken inflicted on the elemental during its capture in order to obtain one of its teeth and forge Levïaïa.

Morlochs:

They are the most loyal and the most powerful of the Dark Lord's lieutenants. They have always commanded the various legions. Their physical strength is unrivalled. They are of immense size, exceeding by several times the stature of a Simerian. Following Fulk Arken's last defeat, they were decimated and only a few managed to escape.

Werewolves:

These are humanoid creatures that stand upright and possess all the attributes of wolves and men. They are the result of forbidden experiments carried out by the Dark Lord from his earliest claims of suzerainty. They were used so as to act in complete secrecy and make people believe in wolf attacks.

Vampires:

Nocturnal creatures resulting from genetic manipulations carried out on humans who sold themselves to Fulk Arken, these creatures are imperfect because they can move only at night. Not possessing exceptional strength, they are characterized by great speed, which enables them to act on extremely targeted missions. They can replenish their ranks by contaminating humans through bites. They cannot infect Elves, Ogariths or Simerians; however, several vampires can kill those species through repeated bites in order to suck out the life-fluid contained in their blood.

Gargoyles:

Winged creatures in the service of Fulk Arken, whose sole purpose is to destroy Ogarith and Elven crops. Incidentally, they are tasked with attacking anyone trying to reach a battlefield. They are meant to prevent reinforcements from arriving. They act between dusk and dawn.

Ghouls:

A kind of undead that feed on corpses in order to store up physical or magical strength and use it later. There exist on all the continents of Yrneh a number of fantastic creatures, some of which are naturally allies of Fulk Arken.
