Winter Nyth

Often mistaken for a baby unicorn by those newly arrived on Verra, nyth are their own unique species. They have a very long lifespan, but breed rarely. Seeing one is considered to be auspicious, and poaching one is inadvisable. Not only do they seem to have command of Verra’s unusual mystic energies, making them a formidable foe, but their death can invoke a curse on those responsible, whether it be through trap or by bow. Every year Verran fairies shed their wings, those wings are collected by the stewards of Elendin. These shedded wings deteriorate over time in dry and temperature controlled dusteries. Once enriched with the tears of the Nyth, they become highly combustible, and are used for various explosive purposes. You must tickle the nyth to produce the most potent tears.
