Astral Mist
Astral mist is the product of a unique phenomenon on the
Astral Sea. When a creature's silver cord is cut while they are
astral projecting, their soul is severed from their body. Over
time, their souls can become totally broken apart into raw
essence that can recombine with other scattered souls to
form an astral mist.
A cloud of astral mist seeks to find creatures within the
astral plane that still have their silver cord attached. They will
relentlessly attempt to break this chord from the creature's
body. This reason for this is unknown. Some theorize that the
mist seeks to grow itself by adding new souls to its collective.
Others think it is more of an act of jealousy that the soul is
still attached.

Culicidae Hound
The church does not always seek to fill its ranks with
humanoids. When the white ticks used for transforming
humanoids into loyal clergy are used instead on beasts, a
culicidae hound is born. These beasts attack any creature
that is not of the church. They possess long, sharp proboscis
which are used to drain the vitality from their targets. The
blood and viscera drained collect in a sack near the hind
quarters of the hounds. These serve as a method to
rejuvenate the hound and also as a source of attack should
the hound be fatally wounded. The sack will rupture and
explode on the creature's death, spraying superheated gore
upon nearby foes, burning them and potentially infecting
them with disease.
