Wisps

Wisps are small, humanoid beings that look as though they're made from refracted light. A Smoke-like effect lifts from their heads, wafting down the corridors of their caves in Hollowpoint. Most Wisp settlements are outwardly hostile, while the few trade posts will judge immensely (and unfairly.) Wisps are usually always highly xenophobic and protective of their caves, killing or arresting (and enslaving) outsiders who trespass. As the sole inhabitants, Wisps also are in control of all the precious materials that hail from their home. Crystals from Hollowpoint are rare and expensive, but rife with magical properties. Wisps themselves are excellent magic users, gleeful to show off their mastery and crystalline jewelry in the few occasions they do interact with outsiders. The only race they have a tentative alliance with is the Sardvig. Wisps outside of Hollowpoint are rare, either exiles or on political missions. To ask a Wisp which they are is unthinkable.
