Wraith

Ye Wraith is a mo$t pernicious and vexatious entity. This creature is made entirely of smoake or gaseous materials, having a forme that doth ever shift and change, which maketh it impossible to destroy by earthly weapons.

Some sayeth that the Wraith be a revenant soul bent on revenge, whilst other$ report that this being is like unto the Djinn of Eastern lore – namely a spiritual being from the spirit realm, unrelated to mankind.

Regardless of its provenance, the Wraith does evil abroad, and its visitations presage ill to whosoever encounters it.

Wraith

I have come across Wraiths before but none like the one residing on Black Mountain. It seems bigger and almost feels prehistoric. It swooped down on the docks and I watched it siphon a soul from a man before my very eyes. It looked towards me as its black withered robe moved as if it had a life of its own. I do not know who it is but I have heard they can take on the appearance of humans at will. – Miguel

 

The Wraith reminds me of the Grimm Reaper and tomes I have read have insinuated that they work for the Grimm to collect souls. But as Miguel observed this Wraith is different. I witnessed it ripping a tree right out from its roots while it searched for someone trying to escape it. Its skeletal hand has a ruby ring on it, I have never known for these beasts to wear jewellery. Perhaps this will be a clue to discover whom it is in human form. – Myrrhtear 1770

 

I have found the home of the Wraith. I will confront it when in human form and pray that it does not destroy me before I can banish it back to the bowels of hell. – Sister Cyprian 1813

 

I have found the ruby ring concealed in a prayer cloth of some sort. Initials on the cloth are too faded to make out. I will take this to the Elders in the morning but will need to find an Inn for the night. – Miskelly 1910

On returning to the Elders I have opened my travelers bag to find the ring and the cloth missing. Someone took it from me while I was sleeping. – Miskelly 1910
