Banshees are Undead spirits of elves that resemble elven women. Their keening produces fear to those unlucky enough to overhear it.
The Banshees of Dargaard Keep
The elven priestesses that revealed Loren Soth’s dalliance with Isolde, were sentence to sing Lord Soth’s downfall to him every night as banshees in Dargaard Keep.
When in battle, they ride chariots made of bones with wyverns pulling them. They attack with their voices and brandish Swords of Ice.
The number of Banshees in Dargaard Keep varies from story to story, book to book. Some say there is only three or four, others claim there is as many as thirteen.
