Yends

These creatures at first appear to be men, however tall and thin, but closer inspection reveals eyeless faces as smooth and white eggs. What makes the Yends dangerous to cross is that whatever part of a creature their shadow falls on immediately putrefies and takes on the appearance of month-dead flesh.

They can be found near the Red-Stained Altar (13.28).

Connection:

• One of the regulars in the Fat Friar Inn is an aged one-handed drunk who will tell exaggerated stories of how he had to cut his own right hand off after the shadow of a Yend fell on it (17.07.04).
• There is a place called the Mound of Yend (11.27) which might be connected to the Yends.
