Often mistaken for the Fae, the Zath are the Fae's darker brothers and sisters. These poor creatures were unable to shield their hearts from darkness during the Changing and most of them were transformed into beasts and monsters such as goblins, trolls, bogarts, and more. Only a few whose hearts were not corrupted enough for a complete transformation and yet were not pure enough to join their brethren in Faeyelwen retained their original forms. Despite their shapes, sizes, and colors, however, all these creatures were exiled to Izathra, which is located within the veil that separates the human realm and other realities.
