Hiraeth Creature #662 - Pandoro Fish

Published:
949 Views

Description

Immersed in nature, the Pandoro Fish are found in scenic glades and vistas throughout the woodlands of central, western and northern Hiraeth. In these places where the stories of knights and monsters are their strongest, some travellers are fearful of the unknown, and forego wading through its shallows. In the beauty of the wilds, the Pandoro Fish meditate and sun bathe, and no noise or beast disturbs their continuous tranquility. Their heads, adorned with gleaming gems and having a natural sweet smell, attract many small animals to investigate the Pandoro Fish, though many, in turn, join them in their relaxation. Pandoro Fish are known for having a knack for finding the safest and coziest places in the woods.

During the Giant's March and sundering of the kingdoms, Pandoro Fish became impossible to find. After the march was quelled, they started slowly reappearing in the wilderness once again. Off in the north, after the cursed kingdom was sealed away, the Mountain Prince, Hruncine, felt ashamed of the evil that hid under his nose, and of the wounds he suffered during the chaos. He left his mountains with no intentions of returning, and aimlessly wandered for a time. During his sorrow, he found a Pandoro Fish, calmly perched in the ruins of a moonlit chapel. The peace he saw on its face struck a chord in him, reminding him of a feeling he had lost in his soul. The Moon striking the gems on its white-peaked head brought about feelings of nostalgia for his old court, but also the pain he suffered in it. After meditating with the little beast over the course of a night, he returned to his mountains with renewed vigour. With unmatched force, he soundly defeated the monster who tried encroaching in his absence, throwing them all off the highest peaks, and was welcomed back by joyful spirits. Above the clouds, he watches the north from his throne, finding new resolve in his wracked soul.
