Live below the Towers of the Hallovers (26.16)
Each member of the Fausty family is accompanied by a monster that comes from beyond this world. In the other witch clans, strength of blood determines whether a person manifests the family power. In the Fausty family, strength of blood determines the power of the companion beast.
The monsters are clearly alien. One boy is followed by a clockwork eye with wings of glass and mithril. It speaks only in mathematical formulae. A scion of the family is followed about by a colourful and bounding great Galloon, rabbit-eared and poodle-tailed. A girl born last year has already summoned a great black mastiff that the matrons say once collected the dead with the Wild Hunt (31.07).
Hooks
- Do the Wild Hunts really collect the dead, or is that Clanswoman gossip?
- What other companion beasts do Faustys have?
- Do any of these extraplanar beings exist in the Shrouded Lands other than as Fausty companions?
