Many creatures of Auria die with a remorse or burden taken into their grave, resulting in their soul getting lost on its way into the Afterworld, leading to it being stuck on Auria trying to fulfill whatever they felt was left unfulfilled. Due to that, Ghosts vary in aggression as some can be peaceful even but others may come across as vengeful or maddened, requiring either their soul be destroyed by divine magic or more humanely have whatever is troubling them be taken care of. Some societies have developed people who specialize in communing with Ghosts to help them pass on.

Among Pirates and sailors alike, the legend of the Ghost Ship sailing the sea has been passed down for generations but what many don't realize is that it is actually true. Pirate Ghosts are very common as pirates live greedy lives, wishing to hold onto their treasures even in the afterlife which causes many of them to remain stuck on Auria continuing to plunder and sail. The notorious Ghost Ship is one such example of not only a Pirate Ghost but an entire Pirate Ghost crew, with a spectral ship which is known to appear every night somewhere at sea on any given Planet. They say the haunting chorus emitted by the Ghost Ship is sung by its crew and it is known for causing nightmares to anyone who may hear it, their presence haunting them even weeks after seeing them.

Despite wishing to plunder and pillage, the Ghost Ship never outright attacks any settlements and is seen aimlessly sailing the oceans, seemingly lost in time and space.

Powers

Ghosts are spectral beings and as such are able to lash out with considerably deadly attacks that pass any physical defenses and attack the soul directly, requiring both magical attacks and defenses to combat a Ghost. They can also haunt living creatures by merging with their souls, causing an assortment of different ailments upon them including blindness, confusion, deafness and rapid decay. Ghosts either attack with their hands or by shooting bolts of their own essence at their foes.

Though they are strong, only vengeful Ghosts or those that have a reason to attack actually do attack living beings.

Physical Appearence

Ghosts are spectral beings that take the form of whoever they were in life. They glow in different colours based on a number of factor including their cause of death and who they were in life.
