There are a lot of creatures and monsters as well as places in this book, here is a guide to them so that you won't get confused. I will be adding more and more entries to this chapter as I progress in writing this book, so check this chapter every time you find something you don't already know about. Also, feel free to request any entries.
Death Knight: When a paladin breaks the oath he took or falls from grace, and dies without seeking atonement, he is resurrected from death as a death knight, an undead version of that paladin. Every time that a death knight dies, he experiences mind-breaking pain and is resurrected again. only through atonement can a death knight find true rest in death.
Nightmare: Also called a "demon horse" or "hell horse," the nightmare serves as a steed for creatures of exceptional evil, carrying demons, devils, death knights, liches, night hags, and other vile monsters. It resembles a fiendish horse, and a nightmare's fiery red eyes betray its malevolent intelligence. Nightmares don't appear naturally in the multiverse. They must be created from pegasi. The ritual that creates a nightmare requires the torturous removal of a pegasus's wings, driving that noble creature to evil as it is transformed by dark magic.
Lich: Liches are the remains of great wizards who embrace undeath as a means of preserving themselves. They further their own power at any cost, having no interest in the affairs of the living except where those affairs interfere with their own. Scheming and insane, they hunger for long-forgotten knowledge and the most terrible secrets. Because the shadow of death doesn't hang over them, they can conceive plans that take years, decades, or centuries to come to fruition. A lich is a gaunt and skeletal humanoid with withered flesh stretched tight across its bones. Its eyes succumbed to decay long ago, but points of light burn in its empty sockets. It is often garbed in the decaying remains of fine clothing and jewelry worn and dulled by the passage of time.
