Heartbeast

Heartbeasts are animal companions to the Quai. There is a great bond between them, almost as if they are part of the Quai's soul. Physical pain occurs if the two are ever physically distant from each other. If a Quai ever loses their heartbeast, they can earn another but the bond will never be as strong.

It is rumored that when the Quai-Lem are banished to the Glasslands their heartbests are severed from them. This is not true, however, some Quai-Lem have sacrificed their heartbeasts to resist the cold.
