Veilwood Quickling

Veilwood Quickling

Small fey, chaotic evil

Feral, unnaturally fast hunters that appear from nowhere and vanish before their enemies can respond. They target scouts, messengers, officers, spellcasters, and isolated soldiers, using their speed to wound and scatter the enemy. Their purpose is to create confusion and expose victims for the Redcaps.
