Introduction to the Island of Winds: Our Creatures

Balance Keeper lore does not mention the Moss Mice, but there are accounts of strange occurrences where parts of the land seem to “spring alive” and “rise from their roots as if suddenly growing feet”. Such descriptions have generally been regarded as stemming from either the overactive imagination of lonely souls or the hallucinations of exhausted travelers. Sightings have supposedly included living grass, rocks, snow and sand, all of which share the common theme of one single entity acting like a mother to a litter of crawling creatures that most resemble mice. By all accounts, they are harmless beings which disappear as soon as they sense the presence of others. Are the Moss Mice affected by whatever evil is sweeping the land?
