Seemings and Kiths

Beast

The animal-blooded who hunt in the tangled forests of Faerie, swim in its waters, soar in its skies or pace in its kennels. The Durance of beast characters always had something to do with animals or beasts, whether tending them, hunting them, being hunted by them or being them.
