Basics

| Andvari (ahn-dwah-ree) - "Name of a mythical treasure guardian" (Norwegian) | Reference | Andvari was essentially a nomad, travelling alone with his mate instead of living the regular herd life. But unfortunately, as life and nature became crueler and even less predictable, they had a run-in with one of the rarer subspecies of aurora biotas: a mare, whose transformation had rendered her carnivorous. While some horses can come to terms with this change over time, the sudden bloodlust had clearly broken the mare and left her manic and unstable. Despite Andvari's best efforts, his mate inevitably fell to the monster's fangs. Hunger now sated, the biotas chased off Andvari. Already grief-stricken, he realized later that while trying to save the life of his mare, he'd been bitten by the biotas. This realization chilled him, in ways he would never quite shake until the day he'd join his love in the grave. He had become the monster that shattered his world.
