Hiraeth Creature #1189 - Figellithen“There was a time when the rolling waves of Tethys held aloft fleets of vessels to traverse her waters. Guided by the wind, ships navigated from harbour to harbour and found their way to islands and archipelagos to explore. A novel idea to some from other places, but in Hiraeth, seafaring has become a somewhat obscure art, kept alive through coastal villages, islanders, and what little remains of pirate tribes. Hiraeth’s interior is vast with enough mysteries held inward, but some believe the real secrets of the world are out across the ocean, past the storm-drenched horizon and the snapping jaws of sea monsters.A whimsical stranger from an even larger and more unfathomable body of water, the Figellithen indulges the curiosity of those who wish to see beyond the horizon but have no ship to cross it. On nights of a New Moon, one must go to the coast and make a circle of stones brought in by the waves. Within the shimmering circle one must hold out a broken compass and the Figellithen will hasten to the ritual site. They will then bless the wayward trinket, and from it one will be whisked away to an island. Which island, no one knows–be it a treasure trove or desolate is not for anyone to choose. The broken compass becomes one’s ship every New Moon if they wish to see the world beyond simply for the sake of it. Why the Figellithen does this is uncertain, as they speak no words and give no incentive. It could be purely that they resonate to the heart of a wanderer such as themselves.” -- source link
