Haltija: haltija are spirits of specific places or animals. Some are elemental, such as the forest maidens like metsänneitsyt or haapaneitsyt, the vedenhaltijat (water), and more. The rarest are the soul haltija, who are beings of elemental death. They protect a specific place, drawing from the väki (elemental energy) of a place, sometimes called aether, elemental magic, or even viridianites. All haltija can be appeased if a sacrifice is left at their tree or other places sacred to them. Most have brown eyes, black hair, and alluring voices. They often keep their own livestock.
