Faebruary: I am very excited to share this monthlong project with you all! Regular viewers of this channel will know that a lot of my creative focus goes into Kroashent, my ongoing fantasy series. There's a ton of background lore for the series, so I thought it might be fun and helpful to run a little project to introduce to viewers new and old, to the characters and creatures of Kroashent, with a twist!

For the month of February (or rather "Faebruary!" I will be posting drawings of the characters of Kroashent as different creatures from Alvez, their world. To begin, these creatures will be the "Tuath", the sapient, social creatures of the world (think the playable species of D&D). (We'll address the beasties and things that go bump in the night in a future project)

Kristina Brezilerez Kernvvoger: Kristina is the daughter of an Eladan military engineer and a court dancer, and she carries on the legacy of both parents, overseeing the construction and execution of defenses for the Barony of Blackwater, as well as serving as its chief sapper when the Barony besieges enemy strongholds.  An avid dancer, Kris implements a rare form of non-verbal huderezh (cast magic) using motion and dance, combining this with her knowledge of resonance and flexibility to both create and destroy fortifications.  Known as the Siegebreaker, her unique approach makes her a reknowned figure in military engineering.

Baobhan Sith: The Baobhan Sith are fae predators, slender bipedal humanoids, with deerlike hooves. Incapable of producing their own foyson (Magical life essence), they instead extract it from living prey, possessing small, hollow fangs capable of siphoning blood. They hunt in packs of four, enticing lone travelers or small groups to join them in their nocturnal revelries before consuming their lifeforce. The dance of the Baobhan Sith has an entrancing effect, similar to that of a cobra.

Baobhan Sith typically wear long, flowing green dresses. They call themselves Deontóirí mianta, or Wishgranters. Despite their predatory nature, they are full members of the Unseelie Court, answering Winter's Call to gatherings, taking part in ceremonies, battles and courtly intrigue.

Baobhan Sith have a fear and hatred of horses, and will avoid them where possible, acting nervous and skittish when confronted with a horse. While in a blood frenzy, this aversion becomes more apparent, and they will flee from equines. Nightmares and Ki Du will often attack the Baobhan Sith on sight.

Val's Notes: Quite a few people were asking for this entry, Kroashent's vampires, the Baobhan Sith. The Baobhan Sith are a faerie from the folklore of the Scottish Highlands, and are actually one of two "vampires" found in Alvez. The other, the abhartach, are feral revenants stalking forgotten burial mounds. Of the two, the Baobhan Sith are the more social, capable of sophisticated planning and communication, as well as engaging with other Tuath.
