Wildkin

Just as the natural world has fauna both great and small, so too does the spiritual world. Wildlings or Wildkin are “smaller” entities that some describe as nature spirits. Their sapience and intelligence vary from bestial, to human-like, to beyond mortal cognition, though they are largely ignorant of human morals. 

Wildkin (sing. and pl.) often appear to be composed of their surroundings. Earthen Wildkin look like they are made ot dirt and stone. Flame Wildkin appear as walking pyres. Some Wildkin, however, also take aspects that are considered animalistic, fungal, or botanic.

Geists and Wildkin are sometimes confused for one another. For many there is no difference between the two, especially when they are on a rampage or directed to attack humans. On occasion, some Wildkin can be spoken to and even negotiated with. However, the dissimilarities in values and morals between humans and spirit can make such matters prickly.
