Great Beasts
Scattered across Tanaria’s vast landscapes, hidden in myths and whispered in legends, are the Great Beasts—ancient, singular creatures of unparalleled power and significance. Each one is a unique entity, tied to the world’s history, gods, or natural forces in ways that make them more than mere animals. Some are colossal behemoths, reshaping the land with every step, while others are semi-divine beings, guardians or remnants of an age long past. Few have seen a Great Beast and lived to tell the tale. Their appearances are often heralded by omens, natural disasters, or celestial shifts, and their influence lingers even when they are absent. To slay one is a feat spoken of in legend—though many believe that they are not meant to die by mortal hands.
