The Tall Man

Even among these abominations, none is more widely feared than the Tall Man. His territory, which stretches radially hundreds of miles from an epicenter, is encircled by cairns warning the unwary traveller. Any who enter are killed the Tall Man. Worse, he strikes out across the world, irregardless of distance. When he comes to any town, castle, or city, the result is always the same-- death to all but a select few. Why he spares some is unknown; they are unremarkable in every way. There is no pattern to the attacks and no way to stop them. The Tall Man is oblivion, utter and absolute. Even the Iussani, who worship Daiyeh, fear the Tall Man as an object of annihilation.
