Hopefully, this will become an experiment in collaborative fiction and role playing, once I get it up and moving, and get a few people involved.
So here's the idea...
So here's the idea...
Specifically, I'd like to turn this idea into an open world fictional universe. My friends and creative folk will be invited to peruse the information I have on the world, and to play with it. Write characters. Write stories. Add races, city-states, monsters and ancient ruins. I'd like to write stories, role play, and generally allow my friends to help me explore and create a rich, if someone forbidding, fantasy world.

Another monster without a name. I'm bad at names.
Small, flying creatures with sharp features suggestive of a young aelth. They fly, and sing a strange, warbling song. Their song is psychoactive. Targeted creatures that hear the song will become fascinated by the creatures, hold them, pet them, and feel intense pleasure. with longer exposure, or exposure to multiple creatures' songs, victims will essentially freeze in place, paralyzed with ecstasy. At that point the singers will begin to feed, flaying strips of flesh and eating them. They feed in groups, but take their time.
Singers are roughly humanoid, about one foot high, with bat like wings. Their skin is silvery, with shimmer and highlights that range through a rainbow of colors. Enormous pearlescent eyes, tiny and viciously sharp teeth, and long razor-sharp claws. They nest in forests, in groups of a dozen or so.

Cherubim/Blood Wisps
Called "blood wisps" by most, or "cherubim" by scholars that study the dead gods and their creations, these creatures are invisible and silent, and only semi material (to most). Only way to tell where it is is that anywhere it touches anything (including the ground) it leaves a bloodstain. It's blood is poisonous, but not a power source, having been extremely degenerated from the original source of its power.
They are degenerate forms of what amounted to angels, spirit servants of the gods. Originally they were pacifistic, body servants and sex slaves for the gods and their chosen servants. When the gods died, they were affected as well, being composed of something like the same stuff. But as they, like the servitor races, are only similar to the gods physically, rather than identical, their numbers were drastically reduced but not utterly destroyed.
The few that are left are somewhat inbred and highly aggressive, cunning rarher than truly intelligent, unlike their ancestors.
Visible and audible only to those that have been corrupted. To them, they appear as androgynous creatures of unearthly beauty, naked and alluring despite being covered in blood. To the uncorrupted their blood is a powerful poison, to the corrupted it is a powerful euphoric. The creatures seek to kill the uncorrupted and seduce the corrupted.
