The Heart

The Heart is a clump of a blackish goo and dried blood that is said to pump darkness into the world. The Heart kills almost everything it touches excluding elves and funguses. It was found under Rannikko, Anglunia by scientist and mercenary Bluyan Yetas-Betal’lan.

The Heart becomes stronger with every life it takes. The Heart kills using tentacles that suck out its prey’s insides whether that be a tree or a person. The Heart seems to have conciseness and be capable of thought. Proof of this is that it is known to plan its attacks before it makes the action. The heart can choose whether it wishes to drain it's victims lifeforce, but should it find a host it deems worthy, it can provide some of its own power to said host and thus can sometimes create beings able to do incomprehensible things.

The Heart has some traits that are similar to the Scoiris, like being able to use living things as a host. But death does not stop the Heart from controlling the host, about a week after death the black goo of the heart starts to fuse with the host’s own one forcing it to beat again.

The Origins of the heart are unknown, but then again no one has been brave enough to try and find out... Maybe answers lie within the depths of Arternaia...
