Introduction
Also known as the 'bridge between man and beast', Mani are (guardian) spirits that are chosen by the Aspects. Their main purpose is to protect their particular species. Each beast tasked with this great honor will be reborn as a Demigod. This is why they're often times referred to as the "Demigods of the Wild". These spirits are blessed with intelligence due to having lived for thousands of years. Majority of times, Mani aren't hostile towards mortal descendants. Even those that hunt their kind. The descendants that leave tribute to Mani are compensated at random. However; those that are selfish by overfishing, overhunting, or destroying vast amounts of another species habitat- may find themselves stalked by the Mani. Soon enough, they will know that they've unleashed the wrath of the wild.
Origin
Mani roamed this world far before any of the descendant races arrived. When the Children of Horen, Malinor, Urguan, and Krug arrived- they were primitive and dull- until the progenitors; the various leaders of the descendants, started to chisel their own civilizations and destroy the ecosystem. The only ones that affected the Mani, though, were the Children of Malinor. They began to cut at the trees, and form their own cities. The Aspects saw this as something that could be mitigated. Henceforth, at the highest point of the ancient world, they made a great bidding. Among the first to receive this call were the Chieftains of Elk, Boar, Eagle, Panther, Wolf, Horse, and Snake. They were considered the strongest, most intelligent, and most ingenious of their pack. The Aspects deviated and came to the decision that they would grant two divine blessings, being further intellection and etherealism. The Aspects did not covet a war. Instead, to bring balance between mortals and the wild. In times of need, the Mani would protect their tribes from interventions longed by descendants of both moral and immortal origin.
