Vault weavers are unnatural beings from the void. They are perfectly round balls of faint white light that float around, looking for corpses to consume. A weaver in this state is hungry and will attack anything nearby unless there's a corpse for it to feed upon. It prefers fresh corpses, so it will try injure and capture its victims for eating one by one when it's hungry.

Extract: Ether

When a red weaver dies it will explode, launching all the corpses it ate all over the place. May cause 1 wound to anyone nearby. The corpses are usually a bit shrunken and dried up. The dead vigil can't set in on a corpse while inside the weaver. While in this state the weaver usually will not attack unless provoked.

The Child-Stealers

The terror of the villagers in the Blacksalt island. They often kidnap babies in the night, turning them into goblins or worse. When angered they will raid villages - kidnapping, killing and eating people. They are also called the forest folk, goblinfolk or just goblins in general.

They are usually smaller than humans, with white skin covered in bumps and red spots, pointy ears and sparse hair. They have huge mouths with way too many pointy teeth.

They can't speak properly. Their mouths are too wide and have no proper lips. They also lack social intelligence, but will understand what people are saying and they can say a few broken words. They don't talk to each other much, at least not with words, but will secrete pheromones similar to ants. They are mostly guided by their instinct to create more goblins and gremlins from human children and to eat meat, including human meat. They do trade with each other, though, using human teeth as currency.

Goblin nests are rare and extremely well hidden, but tales are told of them. With their rituals they will turn each human into 6 or even more goblins - with livestock they can make at least 8 gremlins. Every goblin nest has at least one goblin matriarch, a special shaman that releases the spores that turn humans and animals into goblins.

Child-stealers will roam in the night since they can see in the dark. They avoid sun light but it won't hurt them.

Most of them worship Igra, the god of the woods but a few will workship Goshkalon, the god of laughter. They are not evil, but guided by the instinct to reproduce their kind, and the only way to do it is with human children.
