The Greymire

"Lost and Listless, Come no Fabled Mistress Seek not your purpose here, Walk into the grey blear"

-

The Grey Lost Mire, quite the dangerous place. Blanketed by a thick haze that comes from the spores of the great The Daregas Tree. The main feature of the mire, capable of growing into immense sizes. Their shelf like extensions are gardens to their own. And animals hide and thrive in them. Most noticeably, the spores they produce tinge the Greymire green. But when it rains and the haze is washed away, they are met with a colorless landscape. Neighbor to the Palereach.

At times where the Daregas thins and the mire turns muddy and rocky, the Scarzei reign freely. Tall reeds marked with a silverish crown. A feature the Weingand uses to camouflage itself whilst also signaling to others of its kind with its crown. These reed lands can stretch for two to four miles in any direction. They choke out the mud beneath them with their roots and disallow the spores of the Daregas to take. Ensuring the reedlands stay reedlands.

To seek pilgrimage through the Greymire is to become lost. Often feeling Cyacrafar or Kilhia as they trudge through this dangerous landscape. For the mire has a certain allure to it, a listless allure. One that shares no favorites and hides its secrets. One where the bed may be made, but the occupant shall never again dream. It’s a hard place, a dangerous place, not only to ones physical. But to ones mental. If one returns from their pilgrimage, often they are not the same. Yet not in the usual way- Distant. Lost. Listless. Yearning for something they can never return too.

It’s figure it does hide, Walk the listless mire, Harrowing it cried, Sorrow may it inspire

Fauna from Arkhan, 4 stanza.

Grohachza or Whitebanded Greymire Walker, are the walkers of the Greymire. This particular species of walker is known for its mournful cries. Unlike the vast majority of its kind Grohachza are loud, keening and wailing whenever. The grey of their bodies hides among the grey mist, and the black and white patterning up their neck obscures most of its figure. One will know the walker is near by feeling its heavy footfalls. The back of the walker features various flora embedded into thick hide. Grohachza sport Wheytagen Reeds and or Greybalsen Flowers most of the time. The flora aids Whitebanded Greymire Walkers in feeding themselves as they have a symbiotic relationship. The walker keeps them out of reach of grazers. The flora photosynthesize and share energy. The walker’s blood and other organic compounds feed the flora.

Step through drear death, It won’t help you, holding your breath, Fall now to its coup

Fauna from Arkhan, 4 stanza

A mostly aquatic beast, yet on occasion it braves the mud flats of the mire. Though it mostly stays beneath the water. Always waiting, always primed, always there. Swimming, staying, stalking. The Djargeyr is known for hunting anything, but the Whitebanded Greymire Walker. The walker being, well a walker. Though Weingand are still on the menu, however much of a gamble it is to attack one. The padded bumps on their skull act as cushioning and armor should a weingand stomp heavily upon their brow.

Such strange shape, Oh its legs look like they Break

Fauna from Arkhan, 1 stanza

Shaped curiously, Zwedar do look as if they can barely move. And often they don’t move. Standing stock still in the day and moving only at night. The legs of Zwedar are deceiving. What looks like an awkward radius/tibia that's far too long is actually two. The leg does bend in the middle on a hidden joint. Just why the joint is hidden is anyone's guess. Nocturnal, Zwedar like to graze on bushes and low shrub. Taking advantage of plants that flower solely under moonlight.

Shard of Bone Water Driven no It Can’t be Forgiven

Fauna from Arkhan, 1 stanza

Grey Rétir-Dajirimbarg, also known as Grey Bonefish are the most common fish found in the Greymire. Fish is a word that is being stretched here, but it is a fish nonetheless. The boney plates are low nutrient and uncomfortable to eat. The body beneath the plates is eel like and filled with small filaments that lift and close the plates around it. Like this, the grey bonefish is not great food to predators. But it will be in time. As time moves forth, the bonefish will have to mate. When this happens they drop their plates (minus the ones on their head which hold their teeth) and become vulnerable until their plates can grow back if they get that chance. 

Bonefish typically are fearless creatures when matured. The hunt is not worth the energy spent. And thus they swim en masse around the mire. Bullying other fish into hideyholes and away from food. Grey Bonefish are known to launch themselves up out of the water to grab dangling fruit. This behavior happens when dragomii or others travel through the mire. The bonefish will leap and steal trinkets and unsecured items.

Bonefish when mating will drop their boney plates. Exposing their eel like body but keeping their head plates. Mating periods come and go whenever, the grey bonefish has no set mating season. Afterwards, both adults must survive a month if they wish for their plates to grow back. Most are eaten but the few that do survive can grow longer and longer plates with each molt. They will procreate en masse and release thousands of eggs. For the larval young are squishy, unarmored, and very appealing to predators. Leading to the vast majority of each clutch being eaten. Newly plated bonefish are skittish, yet, they in time will learn they need not fear.

Gallop oh Canter For larger beast it avoid banter Leap and Swim, venom oh granter!

Fauna from Arkhan, 3 stanza

This small animal occupies the small pools of relatively clean water. Hydrophobic fur keeps it warm enough as it spends hours underwater. Sending small bursts of electricity through the waves to both see and stun prey. They feast upon small fish and worms. Perhaps a Grey Bonefish if they catch one without the plates. Curiously, Rwhedäʐ on top of having electric organs located in the face and hindquarters, have potent venom in their bites. This is more of a deterrent than defense or offense. The venom is nasty but slow acting, almost always lethal it deters attackers as all it takes is one bite. Surprising for such a tiny thing is the latent ability to sometimes grow far larger than they should. This growth causes internal issues most times but overgrown individuals can still live relatively happily.

Through the murk it dost lurk, It face unfold in harrowing smirk. Face unfolds, never is it droll, Beserk your life it has stole.

Fauna from Arkhan, 4 stanza.

Heavier than they look, if the Djargeyr is the apex of the greymires waters. Then the Kauzen Klall are the apexes of the land. While yes they do take to the waters to run along the bottom of the water. They prefer to stick to what land the mire has to offer. And if not land, then the trees with their strange almost fungiform branches. Specialized apposition eyes that are capable of seeing in infrared. Allowing them to both avoid mud and various bits of debris messing up their eyes, and allowing them to run down and gore hiding animals in bushes. Large antennae sense the coming weather and allow the animal to react accordingly.

The reeds thick among this steed, It’s silver crown marks its creed

Fauna from Arkhan, 2 stanza

Standing tall at 18-25ft, Weingand are massive. As tall as the scarzei reeds around them. Their face with prehensile fangs picks the seeds from the reeds. Both feeding itself and spreading the plant far and wide. Their “crown”, a chitinous shield reflects the light. The twinkles among the grey reeds mark each member of a herds position for their eyes six in all to see. Their extremely elongated hooves serve to perch upon the rocky mud slicked ground, catch and hold onto stones where the water holds still on the mirebed, and to sink til the ankle in the deeper mud. Their legs are sturdy, but they will fall to predation by The Djargeyr.

Blackwater Biota: Liar's Sea Lantern - Continued [A thank you for 600 notes!:D]

"Liar's Sea Lanterns are typically solitary hunters. With its long, ever growing body, it's more than capable of corralling all manner of prey on its own. However, during the height of winter – when Blackwater is warm and great shoals follow the fleeting heat – Sea Lanterns can be found in mass. It is within these rare feeding frenzies that the creatures also “spawn”. Hunting so close together, their tails tangle and tear, allowing immature lanterns to be released. The young Lanterns do not stick around to feed with the adults, though. It must find itself in the depths before it finds itself in the jaws of its cannibalistic parent."

The Palereach

"Go Forth Unto Where The Color Bleaches, There you will find the Palest of Reaches"

-

The Palereach is a rather calmer biome in comparison to the mire surrounding the whole of it. Bleached of nearly all color, this is a chromatic forest of interesting regard. Whites, greys, blacks, and reds comprise the reach. One of mainly low hills and sparse woodland cut by rivers and ponds. While two mountains do rise in its higher reaches, the majority of the wildlife action happens below on the ground. The humidity of The Palereach is slightly lower than the Greymire surrounding. Condensing often into thick thick ground fog. Of which a hardwood flower, The Palebasket, takes advantage of.

The sparselands, the outer rim of the Palereach. Where the mire and the reach meet, is decorated with Atuulmach trees among sparse patches of Rielseg. And where the sparselands consolidate into the reach, the population of Rielseg boom. While not thick, and generally spread out. They fill in for the Atuulmach. And around the roots of Atuulmach grow the Reachred Fronds. Towering red plants to low shrub. And around the roots of the Rielseg, grow the Reach Blackpuff.

Those who seek their pilgrimage through the Palereach all end up with a same sort of conclusion. That same feeling of chromatic isolation. Disorienting yet purposeful, a loneliness that empowers. Yet all the same of that fire it devours.

In the palest reach, It comes without a screech, Red eyes and heady glare, It petrifies with a stare, It cares not for prayer thou shall swear

Fauna from Arkhan, 5 stanza.

The blackmane unicorn inhabits the deepest parts of the palereach. It is an apex predator and moves mostly unseen. Solitary and rare the blackmane sticks mostly to its den and sleeps throughout the year. The face is white, and its black mane fades to spotted white along the back. Its tail is longer than average for a unicorn and black. Keeping it hidden among the pale grass and puffy black flowers in its den. As the blackmane when asleep lays near comatose to conserve energy. Leaving them well open to surprise attacks, hence their camouflage. 

Blackmane when awake will leave their den to hunt. Creeping forward on all fours. And when the flowers and grasses grow tall, the blackmane will stand on its hooved hind legs to look around. When the blackmane finds prey it will stalk it silently. Following the animal to see if there is a den nearby or if it will lead to larger prey. The sudden appearance of the blackmane with its piercing red eyed stare is oft enough to startle prey into stillness for just a moment, before striking with horn. Spearing its prey. It eats in the killspot before cleaning itself and slinking back to its den.

The animal is quiet. And looks solely for a meal. The unicorns will ignore each other if they come across another one of their kind. But can conspire with one another to take down massive nomadic bloodpriest who may wander into the palereach. Displaying teamwork abilities. And its these teamwork abilities which turn dragomii to fools. Many try to tame the unicorn and many are eaten. Only a few have managed to snake their way onto the backs of the unicorns. One group specifically has managed to sequester away a breeding pair in order to create the new unicorn species of Blackfront Unicorn.

The blackmane will take a partner whenever it has enough food to stay awake long enough to mate, and if another crosses its path. Leaving their numbers low. When about to mate, both will tussle for the roles of dominant and submissive. After mating, the submissive blackmane will gorge itself and go on a hunting frenzy. Slaughtering everything it can get its hands on and eating like mad before  retreat to its den. Where it will lay comatose until birth. The whelps are small and mostly defenseless. And the blackmane will leave once to go back on its slaughter, bringing back enough prey to sustain it and the whelps for the months to come. As their horns grow in, they will be forced to be more independent.  As it reaches an acceptable length and sharpness, the youngling will be kicked of the den and forced to find its own territory.

In the palefruit bush, a red tail writhes

Fauna from Arkhan, 1 stanza

The insect is of medium size, it bears no legs and relies solely upon its four crimson wings. The antennae is thick and horn like. Mandibles splay out to the side of its jaws. The red tail is soft and velvety. These insects are mostly solitary but can be observed in small groups. Thi’scweffeen often swarm around palefruit bushes. Their red tails exposed just like the fruit. Drawing in smaller grazing insects from which their mandibles perforate and shred their preys hide. Their long face able to drink the juices from the deceased.

Thi’scweffeen do not attempt to interact with anything larger than them. The bug is aware should its wings become damaged, the chances of survival plummet. Instead, thi’scweffeen will flee if approached. As when perched in palefruit bushes, they look like food.

The insect will lay its eggs under the taller branches of the Rielseg tree. It takes 30-35 days for these clutches to hatch. The grubs will then be forced to glide down from the branches to the pale grass below. Where the grubs will hide among the bigger fronds, waiting for their gliding wings to be shed and their main wings to grow in.

A Dual of Pale Head, Now come Be That Dread

Fauna from Arkhan, 2 stanza

True to its name, the hounds neck is unusually long. Supporting a flat head flanked by menacing mandibles. Each mildly venomous. Its four legs are frail yet hooked at their ends. The tail represents a false head. The hounds move alone when exploring or hunting, but will form small colonies higher up in rocky outcroppings. Where typically 3-20 will live. Their hooked claw upon each leg mildly supports their rock climbing endeavors. Though they are not the most graceful, they can reach safety well enough. If their colony is raided by predators, the hounds if numbered enough will swarm and mob the danger. 

Their long armored necks keeping their legs safe as they joust with their heads. This too is how they hunt. With an impressive reach they ambush their prey. Ataulfen and Slopebacked horses alike. Hiding behind trees or boulders and then snaking its long neck around to strike. The mandibles offer a strong grip and hook deep into prey, and as their prey struggles they will rip and tear themselves. And as the prey wounds itself, the hound will feast, prey still living.

The hounds temperament is that of calculating almost docile interest. They wait and set ambush and trap for prey. And when they are not hunting, they use their long necks to survey, stalk, and watch. Some travel to the palereach solely in attempt to tame a hound for themselves. As they have proven time and time again to be extremely helpful on farms.

The hounds will pick a different mate each time, often venturing out and away from their colony to act as bachelor. And when they find a mate, they do not stay long. Often attempting to return to their colony, yet the others may find them traitorous and banish them to their mates colony. Yet- could accept them once more come next rut. Larval pups are kept in the colony. Often burdening one hound who takes care of them all. They mature to be semi hound shaped after a year, and after a few months of this half stage. Will pupate out of half grubs to pups. This change is extremely energy intensive and often will end the little lives young. But those who change will slowly grow up in their respective colony. Some will eventually wander off should the colony grow too large to form their own, others settle where they are at.
