Category:Glaistig

This section contains canon info from officially published sources

A glaistig is a beautiful, beguiling fey that feeds on blood. Each dwells near a pool, river, lake, or pond that she is bound to, much like a dryad is bound to a tree. Glaistigs usually keep their legs obscured, often in said bodies of water, for a glaistig's legs are not human but instead hoofed and goat-like. Glaistigs use their beguiling songs to bring passers by near to feed or for company. Despite feeding upon blood, glaistigs are not entirely malicious but instead mercurial and capricious. Provided she has fed in thee past month, a glastig may be open to providing assistance to those in need.^[1]

Descriptive Text

The folk of that place Tepest have their own strange religion, which until very recent times made much of the propitiation of fey spirits. There is a hamlet, I am told (and told more than once) where not a generation gone by they would, in every year, take some miscreant or criminal and cut his throat over the brook which watered their flocks, to placate the water-woman (who they say had the form of a beautiful woman above the waist, and a goat below) who lived therein. This practice being ended by the Inquisition, the spring soon went dry, and all those who once lived there found themselves obliged to find anew home.
