Leylina Figurines
The inhabitants of Brinkveil forest each have their role to play. Tend to the flora. Guide the rain. Scatter the leaves. The peace of these woods is maintained with careful equilibrium, everything must be in it's place.
Shrouded by fog and protected by a tangle of ever-growing branches, those who dwell inside live free from worry or threat. Day after day, they happily attend their tasks, content in the sense of purpose that it brings them. The tranquility of their home and their centuries long friendships are their greatest treasures.
Only those who are especially attuned with the earth can hear the drone. Just beyond the edge of perception, it comes from somewhere far below, where the roots have grown too deep.
Characters
Daydreamer Liora can often times be found wandering the forest, lost in thought. Distant but wise, she only speaks if there's a good reason. Liora is one of the few spirits who's role in the forest is unknown. Her shell glows with a golden light, but the reason for it is a mystery. Some speculate that the glow is a signal of approaching outsiders, but the only known use it seems to have is to help others locate her after she's wandered too far from the heart of the forest and become lost.
Keeper of the Briar Gate Gloam is a steel willed and determined beetle, tasked with ensuring that the barricade of branches that surrounds the forest never weakens. He walks the twisted, choking pathways, so attuned with their health and growth that his own body mirrors them, making him all but invisible as he traverses the gnarled mass. With his aid, the forest rests knowing that no harm will ever befall it. Gloam is confident and well liked, and he'd go to any length to protect others.
Keeper of Forgotten Flowers While the younger bees energetically flutter around the grove, Thistle flies further, to the dark, quiet edges of the forest. In the bramble's shade she greets them - flowers growing far from the bright hustle and bustle of the forest heart, all but forgotten. With sunlight in her wings, she ensures that the they never wilt. Ancient and kind, Thistle cares for everyone she meets.
Moss Keeper Thalia cheerfully greets each dawn with a sweet melody. Her lilting notes drift along the still forest air before reaching the moss that decorates the ground, rocks and bark, imbuing it with a magical aura to keep it healthy and vibrant. Thalia is one of the youngest spirits in Brinkveil. Full of curiosity, she yearns to explore every corner of the forest, though her slow pace tends to limit her adventures. Her friendly nature and warm personality endear her to everyone.
Guardian Aetheria is an aloof, care-free moth with deep green eyes that can be found perched high up in the trees, observing the world below with disinterest. Not much is known about her, and she's viewed as somewhat mysterious by most other spirits. During nights when the shadows have grown a little too dark, it’s not unusual to catch a glimpse of Aetheria, eyes wide and glowing gold. But just as quickly as she appears, she vanishes, taking the darkness with her.
