An extremely rare species of harpies that has been spotted a few times near the eastern coast of the continent. Wrath maidens are believed to come either from an isolated island in the middle of the Topazial sea, or from a far away continent well over the ocean. They are almost never seen but are truly a sight to behold: they are positively huge, with majestic black and dark blue feathers, and often wear splendid jewelry or crowns. Spotting one is seen as a very bad omen however, and each time their presence is mentioned in ancient historic records, trouble soon followed. Little is known about them but, according to tales, a person standing in the same area as a wrath maiden will become grumpy and irritable, and when in her vicinity, this bad mood turns into rage. This anger is not directed toward the maiden but toward any companions, or nearby creatures instead. An army would literally tear itself apart simply from being close to one of these creature. They pose a critical danger, as very few beings can totally resist their aura. Even other harpies are afraid of them. They seem to take immense pleasure in sowing discord and some mages have theorized that they actually feed on it.
