Sha'Rir

The Sha'Rir were never alive. Wayward spirits lost from the spiritual plane, Feasting on the spirits lost to the Echovale.

Ethereal Composition

In rare occurrences, the Sha'Rir diverge from the spiritual plane and crossover to the physical. Driven by desires and whims from the souls they've fed upon, they become an amalgamation of souls, not definitively one or another, they are often unable to differentiate or able to identify the origin. They believe they are a person, and often have a wide array of unrelated memories, they are often drawn by goals they cant quite place. While initially evil, the infection of these memories can leave Sha'Rir with any alignment. The Sha'Rir possess soulless corpses to live in the physical plane.

• Dwarves "Dwarves are little and unsophisticated. But strong, hardy and excellent crafters."
• Humans "An all around race, no standout benefits, but their social structure allows them the ability to shape the world past their short time."
• Elves "Graceful, if not a little pedant. But blessed with keen senses and a decent lifespan."
• Genasi "That's a useful host, born with blessings from the elementals themselves, if only they weren't so rare."
