Emberhounds

Emberhounds

Kind: Hound · Realm: Magicia / Earth · Status: Wild — hostile

Wolf-like creatures whose eyes burn faintly, as if embers lived within their skulls, Emberhounds leave scorch-marks where their breath touches stone. The Inquisitors once bred them as sentinels — loyal, tireless, and frightening — to guard the things the Accord wished kept. But most now roam wild and hostile, sentinels without a post, still hunting an order that no longer feeds them. They are dangerous and they are pitiable in the same breath: weapons made for a master, abandoned to the cold, still doing the only thing they were ever shaped to do.

Weapons made for a master, abandoned to the cold — still guarding nothing.
