## Rules questions

### Do goblins serve one of the moons or are they independent?

Goblins originally didn’t serve the moons but now, by treaty with Karkora, they act as servants of the Livid Sickle — they attack by surprise and act mischievously (p.5).

### If a vampire bites someone, do they become a vampire too?

Yes — vampires feed on blood and bitten victims sometimes turn into vampire servants (p.6).

### If I kill a skeleton but don’t bury it, will it come back?

Skeletons are reanimated when the Aventurine Shard’s green light shines on an unburied body, and burying the corpse will stop it from rising again (p.6).

### What’s the difference between the Fungi Ruler, Fungi Servant and a Fungal Thrall?

The Fungi Ruler spreads spores when the Livid Sickle is high; Fungi Servants are infected animals that are aggressive but not very resistant; Fungal Thralls are infected people who are more intelligent, set traps and often keep their former items (pp.4–5).

### Can golems become an earth elemental?

Yes — when enough golems gather together they connect and create a powerful earth elemental (p.5).

### Are dragons and reptilians linked to the Umbri Dragon?

Yes — smaller dragons and reptilian humanoids are servants of the Umbri Dragon: dragons gather and sing under its influence while reptilian villages are directed by shamans who channel the Dragon’s magic (pp.7–8).
