The Vanguard: Saga of Heroes official site has been updated with a creature spotlight on the Ulvari, otherworldly beings known for their prowess is warriors and their insatiable hunger for magic.

The verdant islands of Kojan face daily ravaging at the hands of the otherworldly ulvari. These aberrations came to Telon on the heels of the fleeing raki population, whose world they summarily destroyed - just as they threaten to destroy Kojan. The ulvari hunger for magic the way a leech hungers for blood, and they will not stop until they have drained every last drop from the Kojani people.

Found throughout Kojan, but concentrated most heavily within the blighted lands, the ulvari have talent both as warriors and mages. They hold Tanvu under siege, having infected the minds of even high government officials with their corruption, and it is only by the sanctuary of a powerful artifact that the city has not yet been swallowed by them. The dream-warriors of Tanvu's Aurora family fight them daily on the dream plane, but they can only do so much to stave off what seems to be inevitable,and on the other end of humanity, the devotees of Ra'Jin operate under ulvari control, corrupting the lifeforce Jin with their spreading influence. Fortunately, the virtuous Lao'Jin have taken up the cause of fighting them back, and without their efforts, the whole of Kojan may already have fallen. It is rumored that even the emperor has tasted ulvari corruption, and that does not bode well for the future of Kojan.
