Gi'astu, Spirit of Unsiliel Wood.
The spirit that inhabits Unsiliel Wood is a swift, ethereal shadow that flits along the moss-covered paths with eerie silence. Its paws seem to hover above the grass as it runs through the woods, tireless, leaving no prints in the soft loam, nor broken branches in its wake. Even at first glance, one could not mistake it for one of the mottled wolves that inhabit the forest its fur shimmers with an otherworldly brightness and its translucent contours fade in and out of focus beneath the shade of its beloved trees. Legends of Gi'astu are varied according to culture. Storm-giant folklore has it that Gi'astu was once the King of the Wolves, born larger, stronger, and more cunning than the others, to lead his pack under the benevolent gaze of the full Moon. Werebeasts of the wolven clan speak of him with reverencehe was, apparently, one of their own who loved the wild so much that he abandoned his human form and joined the true wolves, defending the forests with his animal brethren. Human hunters bandy tales of mere sightings of the mythical beast about their campfires and taverns, his noble form the dream-target of their arrows. Other folktales are variations of the abovementioned themes. Yet all agree that no matter what form he might have held in life, he was blessed after death for his valiant efforts to protect his forest and the wild creatures that heeded his call. A final battle against an unknown army led to his demise, though he breathed his last only after his failing eyes perceived that his enemies were completely destroyed. The Goddess of the Forests lifted Gi'astu's soul from his broken body, granting him his request to become the eternal guardian of Unsiliel. Scribed by, Ellora, Master Scribe. |
