Vex: The 'Chameleon' of Terafyn
Hey all! We wanted to give you a deeper look into one of our unique Terafyn creatures…the vex!
Vexes are one of our favorite species in Terafyn. When thinking about the fauna in this world, we wanted to have a creature that was beast-like in appearance but also known to take on the properties of the world and its surroundings; i.e., something like a chameleon but larger, scarier and much more adaptable in a fantasy world. We also wanted them to be less pack-like, as wolves would be, and actually be lone hunters, rarely allied with other creatures, that use their adaptation abilities to their advantage in battle.
Vexes are one of the oldest kinds of beasts in Terafyn and can be classified in different ways depending on the habitat in which you may find them. Given the legacy of the vex in the Terafyn, we also see them as much more intelligent creatures versus what their appearances may imply to the player, which could also mean that they could be a potential ally to the player as they journey through the world.
Kelsor should be posting his entry soon on the vex! In the meantime, check out the below to see some of our vex art:
Building Terafyn
Humble Beginnings
Our story begins in Brittlemire, a small fishing village hugging the coast of the Granor Sea in the region of Cairn. The village’s apothecary, Winifred, is working hard to cure the ailing villagers of a new disease. She has had some success using a medicinal plant called ventorwort, but her supply has dwindled.
What is Terafyn?
The story centers around a mystical land, Terafyn, that was once ruled by two rival sibling gods, Aros and Ona. The fighting siblings nearly destroy Terafyn in their war against each other. The two are ultimately sealed away and peace returns to Terafyn. Over time, the gods fade in memory…but in the present period strange events stir fear that something evil is about to reemerge.
