Bananach

Skye’s Shadow Guardian

Bananach is a Doom Spirit treasured as Skye’s guardian, capable of love despite the bitterness left by persecution. Stories say that frightened people cast them into the sea after finding they could not be destroyed. The priestess Eire recognized their capacity for love, and her death revealed how deeply they cared for her. After Haeos’s followers took everything from them, Bananach embalmed themself so their hatred could endure beyond their life.

Their remaining strength also serves truth and protection. They show Iseul what Iona concealed, and the Hero believes they lingered in the staff until those truths emerged. Felix gives the Hero a crystal bearing Bananach’s last will to protect them from Iona’s lightning. Their final words to Eire speak of truth and rest.
