Fauna, Companions & Familiars

Talamhari (Earth)
  • Companions: Stone-Moles (burrowing pets prized for their ability to detect ore veins), Granite Hawks (messenger birds whose talons could scratch stone), Crystal-Beetles (palm-sized insects whose carapaces shed usable quartz dust, kept as living tool-sharpeners in every smith's workshop).
  • Familiars: Senior geomancers bonded with Ore-Sprites—small, luminous earth elementals that inhabited gemstones and amplified their master's ability to sense mineral deposits and tectonic stress.
  • Legendary Beasts: Earth-Serpents—massive stone dragons revered as protectors of the deepest tunnels. Legend holds that the largest Earth-Serpent, Lithara the Ever-Coiled, sleeps beneath the Granite Spine's central peak, and her slow breathing causes the faint tremors felt in the deepest Heartforge mines.
