Spirits are ethereal entities that inhabit the realms between the mortal world and the divine, wielding influence and power over various aspects of existence. They encompass a diverse spectrum of entities, from benevolent guardians to malevolent entities haunting the mortal plane. In many mythologies, spirits are revered, feared, and woven into the tapestry of cultural beliefs, embodying facets of nature, mortality, and the supernatural.
Rogue Spirits
Rogue Spirits are ethereal entities of otherworldly origin that were once subservient to the will of gods, primarily the Five in the lands of the Nagan Empire. Over time, these spirits have gained independence, straying from their divine mandates, and now roam the mortal world on their own terms. They encompass a spectrum of intentions and actions, from benevolent protectors to malevolent entities, embodying specific aspects of Nagan culture.
Rogue Spirits exhibit varied behavior and temperament. Some may be benevolent, offering guidance and protection, while others wield malevolent intentions, seeking retribution or causing mischief. Their divergence from divine influence has made them both revered figures and haunting entities in folklore.
Lingering Spirits
Lingering Spirits are lost souls of mortals that have become anchored to specific locations or trinkets, often referred to simply as ghosts. These spirits remain trapped in the mortal realm, unable to move on due to unresolved emotions, trauma, or unfinished business in life. Lingering Spirits embody the memories and emotions tied to the places they haunt. Some may seek to convey messages, seek closure, or even protect their former homes, while others may exhibit malevolence, causing disturbances or fear.
Cursed Spirits
Cursed Spirits comprise malevolent souls of mortals that have been afflicted with curses, binding them to the mortal world. This category encompasses various entities such as Revenants, Banshees, Wraiths, and other spectral beings that evoke fear and dread. Cursed Spirits are often driven by malevolent intent, seeking vengeance or spreading terror. Their existence is intertwined with tragic or malefic events, and their appearances are often accompanied by unsettling occurrences or omens.
Nature Spirits
Nature Spirits are entities that embody the essence of natural elements. They exist in a true neutral state, entwined with the fabric of the natural world. Unlike physical beings like Dryads, Nature Spirits are typically disembodied and incorporeal, existing as manifestations of elemental forces. These spirits maintain a profound connection to the elements they represent, often manifesting as phenomena like will-o'-wisps, gusts of wind, or shimmering lights. Their influence and presence are felt rather than seen or touched, making them elusive and mysterious entities in folklore and mythology.
