G for
GRAND ELUSA
The one creature in all of Druma who might know what to do when
Goblins invade the forest.
The true identity of the Grand Elusa is secret, "even to Arbassa.....the
legends say she lives among the living stones of the Misted Hills.
That she knows things no one else knows, including some things that
haven't happened yet. And that she is old, very old. " (p. 156)
Legend also tells that the Grand Elusa is always hungry and
"fiercer than
a cornered giant." (p. 156)
"There, amidst a massive curl of crystals, hung a delicate web. Its
strands radiated out from the center like the light from a star.
Upon this web dangled a single (white) spider, the size of a thumbnail.
Its tie head and back were covered with miniscule hairs which glowed as
white as the crystals themselves. ....Are you --
"I am," declared the spider, "the Grand Elusa".
The Grand Elusa has the
power to change size.
"Do not be fooled by Grand Elusa's alarming appearance," said Cairpre.
"The truth is, her love is as great as her appetite." (p. 235)
