T'isten'ur

The T'isten'ur, also known as the Grey Skinned, were the ancient enemies of the Barghast Founding Spirits. They were Demons in the Barghasts' oldest tales who dwelt in the shadows and collected heads, yet kept their victims living so that their decapitated heads remained watchful while their bodies continued to work ceaselessly. The Founding Spirits had fought the T'isten'ur on the Blue Wastes--a place unknown to the modern Barghast beyond the old tales and interpreted by their shouldermen as the Barghast race's birth place. Eventually the Founding Spirits had driven the T'isten'ur back into the underworld of the Forest of Shadows far to the southeast of Genabackis.

The Barghast shaman, Cafal, relayed the old stories of the T'isten'ur to Itkovian while uncovering the ancient canoes of the barghast founders in Capustan. The canoes' decorative panels depicted the fight against their old enemies while leading Cafal to conclude that the Blue Wastes were actually the seas and oceans.Memories of Ice, Chapter 10, US MMPB p.330-331
