I have a question, regarding these strange heart eating creaures. I read somewhere, don't aske where cus I can't remember, that they where the creations of the Imaskari. Now reading through my own sources I find nothing that confirms it nor really says otherwise. The one thing should be that they generally live in the North, not that it really creates a problem.
Just thought I throw this out and see if it turns up with anything ...

You sure your not thinking of the Phaerimm? Some of them were created by the Imaskari...... Believe that's in Underdark. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| What I know Phaerimm are not flying creatures with deer antlers and a beak and delights in ripping out the hearts of humanoids. |

Well excuse me! Gees, I was just asking. People do make mistakes in lore, but never mind. I'm done with this topic since you want to jump down my throat for asking a honest question. |

Hey mate I am sorry you took it the wrong way, perhaps I put the response a little bit bluntly. I am sorry. |

Nah, it's fine. Wish I could have been better help which is why I asked what I asked before. But no idea where you read that passage. |

Monsters of Faerūn, p.69: "As a consequence of their origin as the creation of a twisted deity, perytons are the most miserable creatures in existence."
So, no link with the Imaskari, sorry. You probably did confuse them with the Phaerimm or you maybe read this bit while playing Baldur's Gate or other FR computer game (where the info is not considered canon, although no one at WotC will say this...) |

I do know that perytons are a menace in the Vast, along with manticores, orcs, trolls, and afew other nasties.
Doesn't answer the direction question, but it is about perytons , at least. |

Hmm, yes it is. It seemed as a possible idea considering the Imaskari's wicked nature and othere creations they came up with. |

Hymm,
I think I found that passage you were looking for.... If so then it is in the Elminster's Ecologies box set in the Thar booklet. :) It describes the gods cursing human's who might have dwelled in Imaskari...... |
