Notes
Named for what it eats. Comes out as the Nochwyn start and works until the small hours, and a warm evening anywhere south of the Frostline has them overhead in numbers.
Roosts in caves, in roof spaces, and under bridges — places nothing on the ground can reach, which is most of why it is still here.
