LostVale guide

Bestiary

Every creature of the Isles, from honeybees and red deer to the Sidhe, the restless dead and dragons of ten colours and four ages, with their tempers, haunts and strength.

The Isles hold beasts, birds, fish and insects of the real British Isles, and, unless the world was made without them, the creatures of their stories. Every kind is defined in the game’s own content, with its habitat, its temper, when it is abroad, its strength and what it drops.

Tempers

Crouching and stealth let you come closer before a creature notices you. Some creatures are abroad only by day, at night, or at dawn and dusk.

Strength by distance

Health and harm grow with the area level, one level for every kilometre from the world’s first landing. The numbers in the tables are at level 1. Families take some kinds of harm harder than others (the dead burn, the Sidhe flinch from cold iron, water horrors fear lightning): see Combat.
