@Dark Cloud That's not to say that Nightterror can't be an ancient timeless creature. It's just that I think we're mostly in agreement that Nightterror should be new to Warlington. Perhaps it'll arrive at Warlington during RP.
Completely agree and I apologize if my wording earlier made it seem like I was completely objecting to your character idea,
@Dark Cloud. I meant more to say that two creatures having occupied the land for a long period of time would not really fit for the setting to this point. For a small town any crime is typically quickly caught and if a suspect not readily found the rumor mills run wild (as pointedly seen in Aarayna's backstory) so the concept of multiple bodies being found dead in their beds over a longer period of time is not fitting for small town.
That does bring about an idea, if you don't mind my suggesting, that perhaps Nightterror's first victim of the town is on the same night the sacrifice was supposed to be taken. Instead of finding Aarayna to have been taken, someone wakes up to find their spouse mangled in the bed beside them.
Again, I apologize for not being clearer earlier on, I should not have tried to write things from my phone
