REGION 9: A Compendium on Spirits

 

Ghosts: A spirit which for one reason or another has refused to pass from this realm to the next. Ghosts usually linger due to an uncompleted task they wish, even in death, is completed. Ghosts are very weakly linked to our realm and therefore are often incapable of interacting with our world.

Ghosts find themselves with an aversion to light, particularly light of the holy variety. Indeed, the holy light of a War Cleric or Priest is often enough to banish these creatures and force them from our realm. Gold is also a potent weapon against these creatures, draining them of their energy for an extended period and rendering them  entirely incapable of much of anything. It is said there are other ways to banish these creatures through magical and mundane means.

Graven: A spirit which lingers on this plane of existence for similar reasons to the related ghost. For reasons unknown to the writer these creatures find themselves more tangible than ghosts can can interact with the world and be interacted with. However, they share the same weaknesses as ghosts.

Apparitions: Unlike the weaker variety of paranormal creatures, apparitions are not individual souls but rather a collection of souls held together by a particularly wicked soul. They form at the site of mass deaths and possess a variety of magical powers making them dangerous and even more powerful than experienced mages. It is said apparitions hold telekinetic powers along with other abilities to chill the air and force hideous images into the minds of their foes.

They are found around pillars, appropriately named apparition pillars. These pillars are the site of a mass death and the apparition will defend this pillar with all its might. To break the pillar will break the Apparitions bond to the location of its death and will allow it to roam free and cause havoc.
