Spirits

Spirits were entities created by the Daemon Apohet to serve as intermediate beings between the Seven Skies and the mortal realm, later intended to be utilized as a weapon by Apohet, a goal which ultimately failed. Apohet's involvement in the creation of Spirits or the Spirit Realm, the plane in which they reside, is entirely unknown to the mortal realm. Due to the sheer number of spirits, only notable spirits will be listed here.

Types of Spirits
There are three types of spirits that a Shaman may interact with. These are:
Elemental: These spirits interact with the physical plane the most, containing spirits such as Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind.
Immortal: These spirits represent the cultural aspects of the Orcs, and may also manipulate certain aspects of the world. These contain spirits such as Spirit of the Hunt and the Spirit of Fertility.
Ancestral: These are the literal ancestors of the living races, including Krug, his children, and any honourable fallen men or women.
To prevent confusion, the Elemental and Immortal spirits are usually referred to plainly as “Spirits”, while the Ancestral spirits are usually referred to as “Ancestors” or “Ancestrals”.
Different types of Shamans use these spirits in different ways, listed in more detail in the Shamanism page.
