In Britain, the distinction between fairies and ghosts is ambiguous. When King Arthur stole a cauldron from Fairyland, he also confronted the ghosts of Welsh folk heroes. Likewise, sometimes a fairy king leads the Wild Hunt, but other times it's Arthur's ghost.

Ghost said to priest:
'In life, love gnawed my skin
To this white bone;
What love did then, love does now:
Gnaws me through.'

Stumbled upon the Pirates with their links with the Templars.

"All night I heard along the coast
The sea her grief outpour;
And with the dawn arose a ghost
To haunt the furrowed shore.

And when from out the gray mist rolled
The sun above the town,
A shipwrecked sailor came and told
Of how the ship went down." F.D. Sherman 🖤#FaustianFriday

”The hero observed that swamp-thing from hell,
the tarn-hag in all her terrible strength,
then heaved his war-sword and swung his arm:
the decorated blade came down ringing
and singing on her head.”

Scylla is a sea monster from Greek mythology featured most famously in the Odyssey, where she kills 6 of Odysseus's men. The witch Circe transformed her out of jealousy into a sea monster with 12 feet & 6 heads on long necks with 3 rows of shark-like teeth each.

This also happens to be a fantastic idea for necromancers in ! We would love if Bards could get this spell as well and command their army of undead as they play their instruments (the concentration element)! We need more Necromancer Bards!

"There is an 'even-tide' in the year - a season when the Sun withdraws his propitious light - when the winds arise, and the leaves fall, and nature around us seems to sink into decay."

Autumn, life’s golden season:

“Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.”—Robert Frost
