His body was laid upon the bier and allowed to rise once a month, during the full moon, so that he might wander the valley and see the stars and moon from time to time.

Her clawed hand grasped the child’s throat to choke the life from it, but far faster and more agile, the child spun and struck Ealuta across the brow with a rock. The witch fell back into the snow, and the girl leapt upon her and stove her head in with the rock. With the last of her strength she took the witch by the hair and dragged her to her gorge and cast her mangled body to the floor far below. With that she left her brother and the valley to the east and came in time to the Massif and the people there where it is said she prospered, but would never speak of those dark days but to her own children.The tale did not end there, however, for Ealuta rose from the gorge, a twisted creature of evil and spite.Variant Vampire Spawn: ?Normal Vampire Spawn: ?Ghost of a Boy: Before Gaxmoor was returned to Aihrde, the god Narrheit found a boy hunting in the valley, he learned of the city’s whereabouts from the boy. The boy treated him guardedly, but shared food and clean water with him. For whatever reason this pleased the god of chaos an evil and he took a liking to the boy. He knew that he was about to unleash Gaxmoor from its tether and set his minions upon it. He knew too that they would bring chaos to all who dwelt in the region; so to repay the boy’s kindness he set a guardian upon the Lost Valley. He slew the boy and set his ghost in the valley, tasking it with driving out all evil from the region. In this way, the boy’s people were protected from the horrors and wicked evil done to Narrheit’s own minions.The ghost of the boy lingers now as spirit, haunting the valley’s length from one end to the other.</blockquote>
