This stretch of hills is stalked by a peryton. Perytons have the voice of and cast the shadow of the last man they have slain. Someone familiar with Severard of the Seven Circles (13.08) might startle upon hearing the peryton’s taunts.
The peryton keeps watch over a flock of deer, including a talking stag who once rode with Tehaar the Huntress herself (29.10).
Connection
- A lady of Thring (17.18) believes that her husband was the latest man killed by the peryton, and she would pay dearly to hear his voice again.
Hooks:
- How did the stag make it here?
- Did the peryton truly eat Severard? Most think that one of the giant spiders killed him.
- Why did the stag leave Tehaar’s side?
