The ancients called it Echo— the invisible breath that held the world together. The source of fire in the bone, and storm in the soul. We called it magic. Then came skyscrapers, satellites, the endless scroll. We learned to split atoms, speak across oceans, cure what once killed gods. Human marvels—iron birds, glass hearts, digital dreams. And still… the world whispers. Because here on Terra, magic never left. It just learned to live beside us

Description
A tiny hive-echo creature that builds colonies from silence, using necrotic resonance to control the dead. It forms spiraling trails and constructs nests from flesh and soul fragments, weaving necrotic webways to animate corpses as part of its hive. Cultural Note: Feared as “Gravebinders.” Entire battlefields have risen again days after being swarmed. Certain Crucible warlocks claim they can grant immortality—but only to the colony.
