ABOUT

The grimstalkers, or banan (as they prefer to call themselves), are fey creatures that do not share the beauty and goodness of their kin. Whereas other fey creatures have come to represent the beautiful or mischievous side of nature, the grimstalker most certainly reflects nature at its worst. They are dark creatures, their hearts tainted with the foulest of evil. Unfortunate souls who wander into a forest guarded by grimstalkers are never seen again – except for their skulls, which the grimstalkers hang from the trees as a warning to those who would dare trespass into their domain.
