"You cross the clearing slowly, resisting the urge to swat away bees. "Excuse me," you say. "Pardon me." "May I—"
The bees swirl curiously around you. They crawl through your hair. They infiltrate your outer garments. "Huz," they say. "Huz." But they do not harm you."[1]
Huz is an infamously noisy queendom located deep in the Elder Continent.[2]
The Hive
Huz's soldiers - sapient bees - swarm in the Bleeding Forest. Upon drinking a traveler's tears, they gain the ability to speak, and offer their services against the Forest's many dangers.[3] In order to do so, however, they must first build their hives on the traveller's body. Being covered in beeswax and honeycombs after a Huz infestation is not uncommon.[4] And never anger the bees: their stings can cause intense melancholy and even death.[5]
Huz bees can also be found in Arbor, where they assist in extracting that city's currency, attar, from people's eyes.[6] Human soldiers of Huz known as the Huzzite Guard reside in Arbor as well.[7]
