Lost Souls

Lost Souls are spirits that dwell in the Northern Wilds of Azopeth. These creatures vary greatly and many posses unique abilities. Each appears differently, many having a deformity that tends to do with their mortal death. Their presence here is believed to be the result of an ancient magical event that thinned the veil between this world and the spirit world. Although these spirits can appear at any time of day, they are most commonly seen in the twilight hours. While not all of them are intentionally malicious, many of them revel in inflicted pain and misery upon the mortals they encounter.  

Defeating these spirits in combat is often merely a temporary measure, and most return to their haunts in a matter of days. The only proven method of permanently removing a Lost Soul has been to Consecrate the area, or in rare cases appease what torments the Soul. 

Example Description: A man sized being that appears almost completely black in color, with little to no texture, or reflection of light. It’s eyes burn a fiery red, and several horn-like protrusions jut out of its body without symmetry. It has more than one mouth, one on its neck, and one on its side. They speak in unison like an eerie choir, and its many sharp teeth glisten in the moonlight.
