DESCRIPTION The Vilden Blade Callers stand 2 to 3 feet tall and resemble spar rows with stormy gray to warm brown plumage and wide inquisitive eyes. These small avian entities dress in bright scarves and necklaces, woven from the hair of the Great Shaggy Beasts and dyed with pow ders and oils harvested from the vast array of the grassland’s native wildflowers. Unlike the Vilden Lore Keepers, Blade Callers tend to only mark their beaks with crimson or orange pigments, unless they are preparing for special rituals or need to travel outside the grass lands. The Vilden’s wings feature a three-clawed hand capped with dark talons, located at the tip of the center wing joint. Despite their lack of opposable thumbs, these tiny hands are quite nimble and can be used to manipulate most tools and magical items. ABOUT Amidst the vast expanse of the Grasslands, where the whispers of the wind dance through the swaying meadows, the Vilden Blade Callers stand sentinel over the Great Shaggy Beasts and the Vilden flocks that call them home. The Vilden Blade Callers’ duty transcends mere protection, as they are the guardians and stewards of the Grasslands, entrusted with safeguarding their hidden truths from those who would disrupt the slowly rotting body and magic-laced bones of the ancient dead god that nurture the emerald fields above. With quiet determination, they repel intruders, their melodies drifting across the plains like gentle warnings to those who dare trespass upon sacred ground.
