Collecting myths and creatures from ingame events.

Firekeepers

Stories of Fire event shows a big flame encased in a shrine. In the event Flickering we find a small Fire Spirit in the form of a squirrel that refers to that flame as the Storyfire. The Storyfire itself tells of a story of Firekeepers creating stories using fire and references the story told by Lord Evergreen and All the Bones in Summer. In the now removed Mystic Research event, the text speaks of the Mystic tending to the flames which is a possible relation to the Firekeepers.

Lostling

Lostling themselves are still a mystery. In the event The Merchant they're told to have forced the merchant to collect strange coins and are shown to appear black with a shapeless form. In the Mysterious Opportunity event one can be found guarding the Pool of Reckoning for repaying the hero. In the backstory told by the Lostling it tells how the Hero freed them when they were young and in that backstory the Lostling can be seen a black shapeless mist. In the event bidding the ghost goodbye that very same black mist can be found when dispelling the inhabited spirit, giving the possibility that the spirit was a Lostling. Another black mist can be found in the Sunaltar keystone event with Shapeless black monsters appear out of a shrine, it is unclear if those Suneaters are Lostling or not. In the now removed As the Crow Falls event, after defeating the Crow Woman in the background a black shapeless form can be found as she dies. Though the chances of this being related to the Lostling is quite low.

Mortificer

Creators of the Morthagi. Two of them can be seen in the Enduring War campaign discussing about eternal life. Mortificer are seen as a civilization that either went extinct or gone missing for unknown reasons. They're speculated to have created Morthagi for very tame purposes like carrying, smelting or cleaning. The Kirdocks tower shows the home of a Mortificer with a diary, explaining how he used them for household purposes. Nowadays Morthagi are war machines since the Mortificer went missing, some can be found planting trees en masse while others coexist with villagers or mercenaries. The most unique Mortificer that still exists is Troygan, Troygan Clume the Master Maker. He appears as a Morthagi Wardrobe with a lot of machinations around it and one big eyeball on top, he calls himself the keeper of this Mortificery. If Morthagi refer to machines, Mortificer as the people that made the Morthagi then the Morthificer might refer to Mortificer that turned themselves into Morthagi.


Thnarric

Celestial spirits

Star spirit

Dragon spirit

The only clear instance when one can be seen is in The Dreams of Icarus event. The event itself shows a shrine with the purpose to transform someone into a dragon. The wings the heroes receive are the Hawksoul wings, oddly enough not the normally featherless wings found on the Summerking dragon found in All the Bones in Summer. If the event fails then a yellowish spirit can be seen floating towards the sky which is possibly the only reference to the Drauven Hero that turned into a Dragon. In the event All the Sweltering Stars it shows that same Dragon Spirit but instead its blue, the event calls it the Astral Dragon Lothrankir as the Starman charmed it. In the campaign All the Bones in Summer the Summerking can be seen talking about five dragons and one of them leaving for the stars, a possible reference to the Astral Dragon. In the event Bidding the Ghost Goodbye the image of the Dragon Spirit can be faintly found when dispelling the inhabited spirit, in this form it is purple and is hidden by a shapeless black mist and a purple fog. A loosely related image of the Dragon spirit can be seen stitched on the Thrixl banner.

Inhabited spirit

Gorgon Empire

In the shame opportunity quest the hero gets sick with Igochorra, an odd sickness that reduces the heroes health. It's mentioned to be a Thnarric word giving the sickness and artifact a strong connection to the Thnarr. In the tiding event the hero is shown suffering from the effects. The person the heroes meet is a wanderer and the follower of a god named Dale. It doesn't exactly specify what Dale is and mostly mystifies this Dale as a thing and an idea which focuses on journeys and all paths leading to where we must be. The cure for this sickness is an artifact found in a cave guarded by two Gorgoneaters. For this follower of Dale the artifact can also be used to cure their sibling from petrification, though not even the sibling knows why they were petrified in the first place. Post event the hero who touched the gorgon artifact speaks of a gorgon empire that handed out a gift and being betrayed by treachery, leading to the gorgon empire sinking below the sea.

Four spirits in total, placeholder.


Woman cloaked in ivy

Found in a tiding event offering the heroes a choice of three destinies. It's rather odd that she has the power to give someone the choice to alter their future. There might be a possible relationship to the Crow Witch as the Crow Witch has the power to read the future.

Sequoia: In the story told by Lord Evergreen, a giant behemoth of a forest spirit, tells of a giant flame that burned down the lands except for one young Sequoia spirit. Sequoia being the name of a tree. The Sequoia can be found in the Lord Evergreen story and in the Crow Witch event in the background. It is possible both Sequoia and the woman cloaked in ivy can be the same person.
