On The Frontier, ‘monster’ is a term used to describe any creature that’s different from humans. Supernatural, magical and natural.
But not every being labelled as a monster is harmful to people. Some creatures actively help out such as the Caladrius.
A legendary bird with mystical healing properties, the Caladrius is said to be able to take sickness and disease into itself and cure people.
Once, a healthy population of Caladrius existed on the Frontier. But when the frontiersmen arrived, they were hunted down to the brink of extinction.
Now, only rumours remain of Caladrius living in the most extreme environments of the world.
The snow-white bird has become a legend venerated by the healers and physicians in The Order of White Light. And a painful reminder of what happens when majestic animals are wiped out.
