Wildsear, also known as the Wildfire Wolf, the Season of Flames, the Primordial Fire, and the Scouring Maw, is one of the Calamity Beasts of Bloomburrow.[1]
Description[ | ]
To the animalfolk of Bloomburrow, Wildsear is enormous, the elemental wolf's giant body setting fire to the ground and causing terror around it. Wildsear is a giant beast whose eyes and maw are bright with flames, and whose burning back creates a column of smoke.[2] Wildsear is not only the herald of wildfire, it is the literal manifestation of it. Wherever Wildsear steps, flames shoot out and catch on the surrounding landscape, causing havoc and devastation. The animalfolk say it burns through the seams of their plane and the next.[3][1]
History[ | ]
The greatest among the Calamities, Wildsear turned the tide in the War of Cinders until it was defeated by Lily of Valley, who fashioned Cragflame from its tooth and sent it beyond the Brambles, ending the war.[1]
| “ | Back in the age of Lily, Wildsear was known as the Season of Flames. Its flames would burn forever. That was until Lily took the Seedflame from them. Now it is a shadow of its past self, though still more than a match for the people of Valley. The fact that a creature could live so long, depleted and weakened, is a testament to its former strength and the enduring power of a Calamity Beast. It does make me ask the question, 'Where did that power go?' Did it return to the plane with Lily? Or is it still out there, like all nature, awaiting a return as the seasons change? | ” |
