EXPANSION 1: Stormageddon Rises (Probably Falls Too)

Excerpt from Bad Beasties by Thomas Monster
What are Venti?
A Ventus is a storm spirit. They are beings made of clouds, wind and lightning. Venti have two forms; whichever one they take depends on how chaotic they are. They can appear in humanoid forms or as stallions. The first of these appear dark, shadowy bodies comprised of clouds blazing with lightning, wind and rain. Stallions appear as rippling horses with bodies made of storm clouds and a mane and hooves that crackle with lightning.
HUMANOID FORM



EQUINE FORM


Where do Venti come from?
They're members of the Satan Lineage which branched out into multiple different races of Demon. They can be characterized as such by their ability to turn fear into magical power.

How do you kill one?
Its really hard since you're literally hitting air and clouds. Though if you hit them in just the right spot, they might disintegrate. Of course, having a magical weapon helps. Magic is the weakness of many things

Nymphs by Thomas Poem

Nymphs are everywhere in Sumaru
If you look closely, you can see them too
Of all kinds and elements, seasons and views
Naiads in Rivers and Lakes, Nereids in the Sea, Pegagae in Springs enjoy wet amenities
The Land has Dryads who live in the trees, Anthousai are flowers, The groves Aluseides
In the Skies live the breezy Aurae, The Rain is Hyades, The Nebulae are Clouds who are fluffy or crazy
While the Elements have Nymphs there are quite a few more kinds
Lampades light the way with Sorcery at night
Cocytiae are Figid and Cold with eyes like diamonds
Maenads are violent drunkards, you should hope not to find them
The Ideae heal and care for all life
The Thriae see the future as clear as they like
Seek not the Aeaeae, for your life will be forfeit
Males stay away from the Dianae, for they do not find men important
Nymphs are all around this land we call home
Some are nice, some are best left alone
