The Celaetuath
The Celaetuath are various spirits and entities that figure in many Jarin legends. They are usually described as small humanoids but this image may result from some corruption of tales about the Khuzdul. Most stories about the Celaetuath are whimsically moralistic, although they are also commonly used by bards as incidental characters in other tales. There are at least four kinds of Celaetuath:
The Bogaern
A cheerful domestic spirit, the Bogaern is fascinated by the hearth fires of human homes. If the Bogaern is ignored or abused by his chosen family, however, he is said to cause complete chaos, even to the extent of wrecking the house or terrorizing entire settlements.
The Cluricaune
A solitary spirit who inhabits wine cellars, the Cluricaune spends his time drinking alone and is believed to be able to tell the future. The wine cellar of Leriel Castle is said to be home to one such spirit.
The Maesrol
Cheerful and bucolic, the Maesrol is believed to tend the livestock of human farmers, fattening them and braiding their tails every Yaelah. An incorrigible ladies' man, the Maesrol can also be found in farm kitchens, ogling young women.
The Polrae
A dangerous and malicious entity, the Polrae inhabits ruins and caves and attacks unsuspecting travelers. The Polrae is sometimes called a “red comb” due to his supposed habit of dipping his cap in the blood of his victims.
