Thavnair
In the Bounty's southeastern waters lies the isle of Thavnair, where tropical coastline soon gives way to dense rainforest?though the intense heat and sweltering humidity remain much the same. The region is known as a rich source of the magically infused stone giantsgall, and the distinctive violet glow from its rocky outcrops lingers in the memories of visitors long after they depart its shores.

Myths serve myriad purposes, but one of the more prominent sorts is cautionary tales. Among such stories, those of Ker may be the most terrifying. It is said that Ker appears on the battlefield to feast upon the souls of the dead, hunting down the living she lays eyes upon unto the ends of the earth. She brings naught but a swift demise to those who dream of glory. If I was to postulate that Ker is not merely mythologica - which I do - she must be some manner of ashkin. Undead, in layman's terms. This would explain how millennia can pass without a sighting... However, legend has it that her 'shrouds' are ever in search of new prey for their mistress, so hope yet remains. Should you glimpse these spirits in reddened rags as you sheathe your own bloodied weapon, pray keep your wits about you...

It goes without saying that pisaca are the apex predators of Thavnair. With their elongated, whip-like tongues, these scalekin abominations make prey of even men. Worse yet, the pisaca has an additional weapon at its disposal-nigh-impenetrable scales partially composed of metal-that has garnered the interest of the Faculty of Engineering. You can imagine where this is going, but for the sake of thoroughness... Our engineers have requested the scales of a particularly large pisaca for one of their projects. Though the creature was rather euphemistically named for quartz, "sphatika," I fear that obtaining its hide will require courage of adamant. Sphatika is known to mercilessly attack any rivals that would encroach upon its territory, and many a hunter has become the hunted in its domain. Perhaps these are merely rumors...but I suggest you don't count on it.

Sugriva once led a pack of wolves in the north of Thavnair, within the dense jungle of Vanaspati. By all accounts, he is a truly enormous specimen. Nevertheless, the previous alpha returned to reclaim his pack and successfully ousted Sugriva, who migrated south. He now wreaks havoc in his exile, and the people want for someone willing to slay the beast. Fortunately, a professor of biology filed a request for a vibrant pelt the other day, and Sugriva happens to fit the bill. For once, the faculty's timing couldn't be more perfect!

The Au Ra's flavor of Hannish once used the word 'yilan' to mean 'snake', though I fear that fails to capture the - frankly repulsive- image of what the Faculty of Medicine has requested you hunt down. According to reports from the local naturalists, the creature emits aether from its photophores that crushes its prey into a more diminutive form, the better to swallow it whole. Not pleasant, oh no.

Thavnair is home to a plethora of rare and unusual fauna, but there is perhaps none so unique as the vajralangula. These creatures use their tails to pluck fruit and wave it about as a means to court mates. Said three-pronged tail clasped about an amra bears a mighty resemblance to the vajra - a weapon oft depicted alongside local divinities - hence the species's name. Our naturalists would like to study the aforementioned tail, and require a specimen in its youthful prime as a sample. Naturally, they've gone and set their hearts on a particularly ornery one, and naught else will do...

Ah yes, Iravati. The name is a rather ancient word for a medicinal plant or so my colleagues among the Arkasodara say. Evidently, this particular specimen grew inordinately powerful after menacing several alchemists and subsequently downing half the Great Work's supply of potions and elixirs. The professors of the Studium's Faculty of Medicine were ecstatic to hear of this, and have requested samples to facilitate the study of the effect alchemical potations have on animals. Alas, for various reasons, few are willing to contend with a rampaging gaja.
