Wamps

Abominable, pale creatures which inhabit the Ruins of Tyrhhia across Lake Yath from Baharna. Wamps are universally reviled by the inhabitants of Oriab, but fortunately are unwilling or unable to leave their home. Sometimes, at night, you can hear them singing even from Baharna. 
Predatory and vampiric, wamps feed on the blood of other creatures to survive. It's said in ancient writings that the method through which they exsanguinate their victims will bring even the greatest warrior to tears, but even adventurers who have fought the creatures and survive are usually hesitant to give specifics. Wamps themselves possess no blood at all, instead sustained by a pale, translucent liquid that runs beneath their ghost-white skin. This liquid, and the hides themselves, are particularly valued by the residents of Baharna, who possess techniques to craft it into Ghost Leather. The danger involved in gathering the necessary ingredients and its unique properties both make this material highly valued throughout the Dreamlands.
Some scholars say that wamps are what ended the original inhabitants of Tyrhhia, while others have speculated that the residents of the city eventually became wamps themselves. Lost to corruptive magics or warped by nightmare, they have devolved into something which only grossly resembles their former human form. The truth yet remains unknown.
