Infernal Spirits

Beings of myth, folklore, legend, fairytales, or stories who use infernal magicks.

Anyone playing an infernal spirit or fairiy must play one who has given up their privilege or evil somehow. Or is at least trying to.

Babay

Krasnoludek: a 3' tall spirit with a pointy red hat. This spirit is often confused with gnomes or dvergar, but they are rarer and unique. They have imperial magic that allows them to harm workers, disrupt their meetings, and divide them against each other, making their malicious mischief a tool of the powerful.

Lietuvēns, spirit
Likho

Maero: spirit from the far southern Island Bridge who dwell in the mountains and forests there. They are large and hairy, wild and violent. They wield stone clubs and have hair allover their bodies. Their fingers are long and boney with sharp fingernails. They eat mortal flesh. They hate the local people in their area and try to drive them out. They violate homes' magical protections and eat people. When chopped to pieces, their heads still live, and within a certain time period, they can put themselves back together. In Talunese lands, they are still oppressed as foreigners, and those among them who try to leave behind the violence of their original people are often recruited by imperials all the same.

Meduza or Meluzina

Nimerigar: 3' tall spirits of the far west who are cannibalistic and dangerous. They are known for killing people who are ill or disabled, acts found vile by the locals but praised by imperials, who made alliances with them during the conquest of far off lands. They are known for their magical poisonous arrows. They gain magic from their cruel "efficiency".

Oni: powerful spirits from far off, they are generally and culturally associated with imperial powers. They are a ruling class spirit in their own empires, but in the Talunese region, they are exotified unless they come with wealth and power. They come in many varieties and have different powers. They tend to be large and imposing. Read more about them online for ideas.

Sheka: a 3' tall spirit who dwell in forests or rundown houses. They have different colored eyes and greass instead of hair. They wear all black or all white and can magically appear elsewhere at noon or sunset. They lure people into fields, causes diseases, and cause horses to trample people. When feeling mild, they will pull hair and taunt people, but when malicious, they are dangerous. If they catch someone alone, they force them to sing for hours. Their mischief is cruelty, and they are feared by those they dwell near.

Tokoloshe: 3' tall spirits who have a terrifying appearance, though what it is varies by individual. They have magicks to scare children, cause illness, or kill people silently in their sleep. They can possess a body if the body is properly prepared - eyes and brain burnt out with hot iron, body shrunk with desiccating powder - and use this body to steal the souls of others. They often work for powerful imperial magic users in their far off homeland, but in the Talunese region they are very rare.
