The Wardenshade
Blood-mist never lifts from the Crimson Buddha Grotto. The Wardenshade reaches out of the Buddha's silhouette — arms slamming the earth, blood-waves sweeping in rings; nothing lingers at its feet for long.

The Shade is a thousand-year scourge pressed beneath the Crimson Buddha. A blood-red array blooms on the ground before its great arm falls (the telegraph); when it sweeps, blood-waves ring its body and open wounds that bleed on. Push its blood low and it falls into Bloodlust, wilder and faster by the breath. It drops the Demon-Subduing Vajra and the Crimson Buddha Kasaya — found nowhere in any shop.
