From Middle English eggewode, from Old English ecgwudu (Flaming faggot)
A horrid
creature manifested by some demented breeding of man and Edgewood. In
almost all cases, sexualities of these "people" are rather questionable. Odds of survival in accidental meeting of one are increased by making lots of
noise and scaring it away. May the nonexistant God have pity on you who have seen Edgewood.
