Otherworldly Patron
Ancient Beast: Penguin
Look, look, hear me out. I know the idea seems silly, you just look at all these adorable little friends and you don't think they can give you much. Trust me, take the deal. once you walk (or waddle) this path you will know there was no other option.
~ From the dual blade chronicles, chapter 85
Deep in the arctic the ancient penguin makes its home guiding their colony to live in peace and merriment. This carefree and family oriented way of life attracts those warlocks who wish to not only bring peace to their own life but find family within the most dire of circumstances.
