A new creature bank has been revealed.
Technically it's one we've seen before (and have even heard the name of, Boreal Call, although from where I can't remember), however we now know its function. It's a gateway to the Realm Between Realms, and defeating the guard awards you with something called Grand Shoths.
I'm 100% sure this is related to the secret faction, given the snowy theme and eldritch abomination vibes. Also, I did a little research, and it turns out that Shoths are Dungeons & Dragons original creatures. They're a race of oozes from outside the known planes who are fiercely loyal and overall extremely helpful, so they can form close bonds with sentient creatures until they willingly choose to be melted into goo and have their knowledge added to the shoths' collective hivemind. Weird, and seems to fit the vibes of the faction.

The Kobold Press Shoths being as obscure as they are, it's also possible that it's a case of parallel naming, "shoth" being pretty easy to get from "shoggoth". Of course, that too would seem to fit the vibes of the faction from what we know thus far.

Also, they did a showcase of some of the new blood effects, and one of the creatures is a beholder-type thing that hasn't been seen outside of background screenshots. It seems to be one of the new faction's creatures. The Olden Era Google doc lists it as the faction's tier 1, although I don't if that's confirmed or just speculation. Still, the fact that they just casually threw a new faction unit into a showcase implies to me that the new faction is ready to be revealed.
