Lochias' Fey Journal

A small bound leather notebook filled with notes and scraps of paper. The book documents the different fey species in Vasilia that he and his Vassoan Guardsmen encountered while scouting nearby.

### Satyrs of Shimmer-Shine Lake

The Satyrs of the lake, they live approx. 40 miles west of Vassos. Not a threat. Disorganized and peaceful. Often spend time pulling pranks with The Faerie Dragons or trying to trick the Nymphs of the lake into fucking 'em.

Nymphs in the lake can be dangerous. Extremely beautiful. Extremely deadly. Most of the satyrs who end up annoying them fall prey to the charming beauty of the Nymphs and disappear. Luckily the nymphs don't leave their lake unless it's under threat, as long as Vassoans keep their distance, there should be no problems.

The lake itself is quite a sight. The surface shines and shimmers with the supernatural beauty of the nymphs. Pretty shit. Anyway, the lake itself leads into a stream at the northwest corner. The stream leads into a pre-mallus grotto made as a bar and spa. Now, the satyrs live there. You'll know your close to Shimmer-Shine when you hear the sounds of revelry. The Satyrs are always partying.

### The Treants of Vasilia

In all my travels around the forest of Vassos, I have learnt of only one treant. He lives a short way north-east of Ocelach and spends his time in quiet contemplation. We encountered him while chopping down vines to travel through the wood, and he nearly killed us all. We were able to, however, thanks to the efforts of Banardeum, appease him when he learnt of our druidic influence. He did not give clues or hints as to his brothers, but only said 'ere he creaked out of sight : "The Treants will be watching you." Could be a potential threat.

### The Sprite City of Bough-Home

A group of sprites sixty miles north-west of Vassos. They live in a large tree, forty five feet in diameter. Among the boughs of the might tree are built the small nest-like homes of the sprites. They are plentiful and skilled fighters. It would be unwise to start trouble with them.

However, they seem honorable, especially for fey. I think as long as we don't bother or harm them they pose no threat to Vassos. Their leader, Ember Pebblebottom, is a surprisingly strong and skilled man. Also very diplomatic. A force to be reckoned with, but not a threat for our people to be sure.

### Kelvyn and the Dryad Network

Kelvy, a skilled blood hunter and good friend of Vassos, leads the dryad network. Since trees of Dryads have been succumbing to 'blight' and the dryads became blighted as a result, Kelvyn formed this group to hunt down and exterminate blight threats and attempt to keep them under control.

Kelvyn is vital for the continued safety of the forest, as is his whole network. The dryads have changed much since the Mallus, better in many ways. They have become fiercer and stronger, they have become powerful warriors. The network itself is scattered, but Kelvyn works in the area north of Vassos. His tree, which he must periodically return to, is twenty-five miles north of Old Vassos. The Dryads, instead od posing a threat, are actually greatly beneficial to our people.

### The Faerie Dragons

The Faerie Dragons, Cynthia and her family, are very annoying. Fitz, and his youger brothers Lux and Nox, followed us incessantly through our travels and often pulled some ridiculous prank on us. They are no threat at all, merely a nuisance. What's more, we have no earthly idea where their nest is. Due to their ability to turn invisible, we have no idea where they go or how many of them there really are. Doubt there are enough to threaten Vassos, though.

### Centaurs

The men have noticed strange things. Four months into our expedition we noticed it. Tracks around our camps, figures in the shadows that run when you approach. The Centuars are watching us, and I don't know for what purpose. Wherever their camp is, we can't find it. Almost like they're moving through the forest with us...

Could be a threat. We don't know their numbers, their strength, really anything about them. If they've been following us around this whole time then certainly they know a lot about us though...

### Yeth-Hounds

Terrible beasts. Complete evil. Unseelie, Banardeum called them. A probable threat. Terrifying and evil, the Yeth Hounds defended some Vampire North of Vassos. When we killed the vampire, they scattered. Men were sent to kill the survivors. The Yeth are now extinct - at least in Vasilia.
