Çor (animal)
Çors are mystical creatures said to live in the darkest corners of Aironoi, and take the form and essence of fire. These monsters are not to be trifled with. Many stories tell of the pain and suffering they inflict on the human mind when encountered, if encountered at all. The stories of victory over the cruel mindrender are not any more pleasant beyond their fame.
Following the advice of locals who claimed the Çor stalked the pitch black tunnels of a nearby cave, we set out in search. It took hours to find the cavern they spoke of, the only noticable feature being a sort of hawk-shaped rune above its mouth. With deep breaths and steady hands, we step into the darkened tunnel. Torchlight flickers across the cave walls, and I see faces and creatures dancing in the corner of my eyes. It is said that the Çor plays tricks on the mind, and one must be swift of thought if they wish to slay it. Otherwise, they may lose themselves in the process. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest with every step we take deeper into this underworld, and we soon come upon a small, cramped hole, a tight and jagged crevice leading deeper. If we are to find this monster, we'll have to climb through individually, but it will not be easy to turn back from here. We must be ready.
