The Brute and the Burning Bride

The Brute and the Burning Bride are, together, the fear of fire and rage, of burning anger and tranquil fury. They are the only known dual Fear - two entities representing a single fear. It is unknown if they are the same being in two separate bodies or two entities that are simply interconnected.

The Brute's domain is the Grove of Fetters. The Bride's domain is The Caves of Luminescence.

The Brute
The Brute is a "dormant" or "dead" Fear that represents the fear of invasion, mob mentaility, and mindless rage, sometimes even war itself. The Brute's servants are known as Crimson Knights, an order of honorable people with violent lives who are given the ability to manipulate smoke as a form of camouflage. They can emit a sound that causes chaos and destruction on a large scale, and are also able to use great strength and speed. Some Crimson Knights can be beings made entirely of smoke encased in suits of armor.

The Brute appears as a wild, savage animal made up of smoke and stitched leather with horns attached seemingly at random. It can extrude an aura that can cause a person to become more violent. It often appears in places of civil unrest and war and "turns up the heat" so to speak.

The Burning Bride
The Burning Bride is the fear of uncontrollable fire, of danger unheeded, of unknowingly causing harm to yourself and the ones you love.

She can appear as a woman in a bridal dress encased in flames with a veil made of smoke. Or as a woman made of flames or made of fireflies in the night sky. The flames dance around her (and perhaps she dances around the flames) and sometimes she will give a gift of burning anger, quiet rage.
