Albizzo lecture notes
A Wraith is a form of incorporeal undead that spontaneously rise from acts of great evil.
Wraiths are beings of evil and darkness, whose hatred of all living things is matched only by their loathing of the light that nurtures life.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Composed of darkness, wraiths are more or less humanoid in shape but are utterly featureless except for the glowing red pinpoints of their eyes. In some cases, the grim silhouette of a wraith might appear armored or outfitted with weapons, but this is merely a vestige of its appearance in life. Many survivors of wraith encounters describe them as robed in darkness.

Encounters

Wraiths are dangerous beings, intelligent enough to strike with deadly effect and melt back into the shadows - or the walls. The oldest and most malevolent wraiths lurk in the depths of forgotten temples and other forsaken places. They can sense the approach of living creatures, and hunger for them.

"All intelligent undead are averse to the living to a certain extent, and most are susceptible to disturbances in the Aether. Those are epitomized in the wraith; a wraith is woed into existence when an act of great evil, so great it mars the sanctity of life, so vile that light shuns it, is committed. This rips apart a soul, and then its unpaired Genius wrecks havoc; negative energy, pure, smothering the Aether, and snuffing out life."
