Seleu kirins are solitary creatures with a presence that cannot be ignored. They project a dream-like calmness and peacefulness around. However, long exposure to the presence of a seleu kirin tends to overwhelm people, making them apathetic and numb; in their words, so in peace with everything that they stop caring about anything else. Many describe the seleu kirins as fluctuating as the moon, having a strong mind of their own and sometimes vanishing for weeks only to reappear when the moon is at its brightest. Those who have managed to go along with the travelling kirins tell that the animals seem to walk the paths of the moon, always seeking the place where the view of the sky is unobscured.
The vast Etain desert, with scorching days and nights filled with cool greyness, holds many wonders even the magi have yet to witness. The legends among the locals tell of magnificent creatures only seen during the hottest hours of the day and the coolest hours of the night, with skin the colour of the sun and mane and tail woven from rays of moonlight. The story goes that those who have seen the creatures describe an encompassing serenity, a calmness that befalls anyone who lays eyes on one of the beasts. Such is the power of these creatures, however, that upon losing sight of them the gazer slowly starts to despair, longing for just one more glimpse of the animal until the desire grows too strong and the people venture into the desert in search of the kirins.
