A forgewraith is the unfortunate result of a humanoid meeting their demise due to intense heat, like a lava pool or an arcane-tempered fire, like the various House Cannith forges. Some forgewraiths may actually be made up of multiple weaker spirits. [1] [2]
Description
Forgewraiths are shadowy, smoky undead figures, outlined in fiery red. Fire burns brightly where their eyes once were. Those eyes lock on any living creature with a fiery hatred. [2]
Abilities
Forgewraiths are incorporeal undead, and there is a chance that weapons pass harmlessly through them. Born of fire, forgewraiths project a fiery ray at their victims, hoping to engulf them in fire like they had once been; a humanoid slain by a forgewraith may themselves become a forgewraith. [2]
Notable Forgewraiths
- Haestus d'Cannith was the overseer of a creation forge in the former nation of Cyre near the border of Darguun . Killed before the Day of Mourning , Haestus was raised by the mists and transformed into a forgewraith. [1]
