Baird's Entry - Beithir
Added 2021-10-23 16:40:10 +0000 UTCBeithir
The serpent, as catastrophic and beguiling as lightning. The twisting thunderbolt, the Fuath adder, the water-dwelling dragonic snake. The Beithir. These wild serpentine beasts-- nary any creature be larger nor deadlier-- even without wings or breath of fire, they kill more men, and spare few in their paths.
Hidden deep in caves, lurking in the damp corries, the Beithir is oft found alone and ready to attack. Be their stings venomous? Just ask Aindreas Vass of Invergarry, whose father accidentally hacked a garden snake in half whilst chopping firewood. In this simplest of acts, he was cursed. Try as the elder Vass might to bury each half of the wee snake in separate villages, the Fuath reformed itself-- this time, as a Beithir, the grand and deadly serpent. Vass did not learn of this terror until he went out to fish in Loch Oich and came face-to-face with the monster outside its imposing cave, where he made the fatal mistake of making eye contact with the beast. Immediately he was stung, immobilized, and pulled down into the icy waters. Vass's clothes were found floating in the loch mere days later, Beithir scales still stuck to his soggy coatsleeves.
Others whisper of fates worse than death. Unholy twistings of form and flesh, where naught remains of the men who once were. So beware the glen's corries, and stay clear of lochs unknown. There lurks the foul Beithir, waiting for you, waiting to strike.

2021-10-23 21:56:45 +0000 UTCBaird's is a bonus feature where entries are unlocked the more you play the game! Not all entries are directly part of the story line, but a lot of them do go deeper into the lore about these legends, and Baird's as a whole will play an integral role in Changeling Tale.

2021-10-23 19:24:48 +0000 UTCOnce all of these were finished, a leather bound hard copy edition would be really cool. Kinda like a lewd Grimm's Fairytales.
