Borrowed Eyes

Kinsfolk Name — Dark Beastling

A Kinsfolk name for a Dark Beastling — for the way the raised dead will stand far off in the black, still and silent, staring with eyes not their own. The thing that looks at you is not what it once was; the darkness is only borrowing its eyes.

The name is old, from the Days of Walked Nights, and it survives because the sight survives: the watchers at the edge of the firelight.
