Su-mehr Qiamp
A Haunted City
The city of Su-mehr Qiamp is the only known region of the world in which ghosts are real. They manifest as memories of the dead or as the displeasure of the living. Legends claim this spiritual phenomena is a curse for not paying proper respects to the region's patron god, a deity of time, causing humans of the region to be trapped between present and past. When the city was under the control of the Okueran Regency, this disruption had led to the city atrophying. By the time the Usharay Divinity claimed the region in the Battle of Rights, the once-thriving city had dwindled to a few hundred of the most stubborn. They were experts on the land, on the flooding of the Mehr River, and on how to handle ghosts. In exchange for their expertise, Usharay allowed them to keep their land. Their descendants remain in the city to this day, and the city's Seers still use knowledge they provided on how to handle ghosts both living and dead.Dusk Spirits
After someone passes to the next world, those they left behind may see their lingering spirit. This ghost is no more than a memory. They act and speak as they did in life, but can't form new memories or react to novel situations.- Read More -
