The Witchgrinder

Suffer not the witch the live. This is the motto that the towering hunter clad in a black cloak and wide-brimmed hat lives by. No one is quite sure what bloodline of giants they came from, nor how they came across their strange abilities. All that really matters though, is the giant's utter hatred of warlocks, who it believes perverts the natural order of things by forging pacts with outsiders. There are many that feel the same and rally to the witchgrinder's cause. Most of those do not realize, however, that the giant grinds his victim's bones to make a special bread that provides him with his mage-hunting abilities.

Agonishin of the Throes

There is nothing typical about the typical bryne. These coastal terrors are lumbering humanoids with a skin tone close to that of a drowned corpse. Crystal-like deposits of bone and salt erupt from their elbows, knees and shoulders while the rest of their flesh is puckered here and there from barnacle scars and fell branding. Their most disturbing aspect, however, is their fleshless skulls. Some say a bryne’s head resembles a dead horse, others a dead wolf’s and there is an argument to be made for both. While the skull’s shape is general equine the fangs within are wicked and sharp like a dire wolf’s Deep set eyes as black and cold as a shark's ooze off-white ichors and within the fleshy inside of a bryne’s mouth resides a forked tongue capable of speech. The first among bryne wears his age like a cloak of tattered rags. Folds of pock marked skin hang from his limbs, revealing greyed meat in places. At the same time, the crystal formations on his bones are chaotic, jagged, and...

While the bryne lurk in coastal waters, only their trawlers enjoy any sort of connection to it. This intimacy is achieved by drowning countless humanoids with their bare hands over decades. Each sacrifice increases the trawle...

Their body is covered from skeletal crown to twisted soles in complex pattern...
