Tome of Beasts

The good, the bad, and the strange. These are the creatures that are mentioned in the Blades of Light and Shadow series. Whether they wish to peacefully co-exist, go on murderous rampages, or something in between, one thing is certain: they are found in the Kingdom of Morella. If the "No Image" picture is used, it means that the particular character has only been mentioned and has never physically appeared.
