Ghosts

Ghosts seem to be the lingering spirits of the departed. Often wandering the places they died, ghosts usually look exactly as they did at the instant of death. This means that they might be carrying their head around if they had it lopped off by an executioner, or their clothing might be forever stained with blood. Some ghosts are believed to interfere with certain types of sorcery in their vicinity. For instance, ghosts spotted in Montaigne will often prevent Porté from working near them. The Montaigne have also been able to catch ghosts in mirrors (a very specialized and rare talent), and many nobles use these captured souls for ghastly entertainment at their lavish parties.
