Sylph

The extinct elemental spirits of air

In the ancient Age of Tempests, the sylphs ruled over the Terrestrial Realm like austere gods. Though the ability to move freely through the air is an ability shared by almost all creatures, the sylphs wielded their innate magic to terrible effect. Standard sylph soldiers could topple buildings with powerful blasts of wind, and the most potent sylphs could simply grasp the air within a breathing creature and make them swiftly burst into blood, bones, and offal. The Abnuwinatwar knew that intervention would violate their peace with the devas, so they instead organised a trade: the sylphs would lose their attunement to elemental air, but would be gifted with immortal divine souls that would save them from their mortal reabsorption into the winds of the world. Modern days see no more sylphs roaming the Terrestrial Realm - at least, none have been encountered by any wight since their alleged transition into the Earthen Races.
