The wrathavor begins as a thin, pale demon with bark-like skin and black veins, feared by northern tribes as a flesh-hungry punishment, and later manifests as a towering, antlered humanoid whose tessellated bark skin and contorting bones reveal an even more imposing presence. Its hunger for human meat is matched by a deeper longing for companionship, shown when Maevyth’s song and touch momentarily soothe its grief. In the second book the creature escalates from passive prisoner to active aggressor, attempting to crown Maevyth its queen through a blood bond and, when refused, launching an assault that seeks to harness Zevander’s destructive black flame against the Umbravale.
Description
The wrathavor has a thin, pale body and skin like bark covered in black veins. Two black, soulless orbs are its eyes, and crooked horns protrude from its head. Its lips peel back over sharpened teeth, lending it a beastly, menacing presence. A massive creature with tessellated, bark-like skin, crooked antlers, and bony, branch-like hands. Its body can twitch and contort as bones press against its bark-like skin; its face changes shape.
