Hiraeth Creature #1203 - Lughirus“Traveling with the stars and through the narrow path will lead one to the realm where the worldly spaces grow, making room for titanic beasts and warring giants. In this place, the earth resonates with the stomping of limbs and the winds part for echoing roars. Many would think this place a fantastical nightmare: fascinating, yet horrifying, no place one would wish to visit. While many would never dream to enter the Land of Giants, there are those who make pilgrimage to test their mettle and cultures who call this realm home. Witch covens, barbarian clans, and even convents of clerics have made lodgings in the shadows of primal forests, all to be closer to the celestial energies that coalesce in the Land of Giants.From a Ravenous Beast who descended from the celestial sea, the first Giants were born, carrying her cosmic essence. As they lived and fought with one another, another creature was shaped by their conflict. Small insects who drank Giants’  blood, laced with celestial magic, turned into massive beasts of proper scale and majesty. Known as Lughirus, they went from bottom of the food chain to a contender, able to do battle with giants. Both Lughirus and Giants wield celestial magic, but the Lughirus channel it in unique ways, able to spark wild energy from the tip of their proboscis and call forth great lance-like pillars of starlight in a furious barrage. These pillars devastate any who fall under them but take time to crumble away and, as they do, their powder of starlight is said to heal the land they fall upon, restoring fertility and flora. Mighty Hillfolk warriors and champions of celestial magic seek out the blessing of the Lughirus, who can bestow this volley of light  unto others. An offering of Giant’s blood must  be fed to a brood of Lughirus nymphs, and then their mother would grant the spear-point mark from her bite. The process is said to be painful, but only for a moment, and then the bitten will be able to call forth a celestial art of immense power.” -- source link
