Aegesir

Based on information found in the Venârivè Almanac: Karéjia by Keléstia Productions Ltd.

Native to the Karejian islands, the Aegesir are a class of immortal monsters of remarkable variety. They include misshapen giants, monstrous sea dragons, beautiful animals, and seemingly almost normal humans. Many believe that they are the offspring of the gods.

They are closely linked to a place and never travel, and if slain, they will spontaneously reincarnate in the same general location. All have some capacity to glimpse the future.

Known Aegesir

Karkanos

The most epic Aegesir, a three-headed sea monster with a long, slender body roughly the length of a ship. One head can be disgorged a venom that can stun or kill anyone who touches it. The second spits water with enough force to capsize a ship. The third can spit a bile that bursts into flame upon contact with air and water.

It is said that if a man drinks his venom, he will gain, for a few minutes, the Karkanos's power to see the future before painfully dying.

Koritsagria - The Witch of Days

Each morning, this Aegesir appears as a beautiful girl and rapidly ages. By noon, she is a mature woman of maternal bearing, and in the evening, she is a withered crone. During the night, she transforms into a hellish creature, a giant vulture with a woman’s head and scythe-like claws.

As the day progressed, she becomes angrier and at night is a creature of rage and fury, the feared “the demon of the night”. Koritsagria is a powerful witch who can control the elements.

Koritsagria is the strongest oracle among the Aegesir and the one most capable of answering specific, complex questions. However, she despises all the deities and will even aid humans if she calculates that it will harm the interests of any of the gods.
