Spirits

The Elf world is populated by many different spirits, which are manifestations or "manitous" of the mysterious magic power that inhabits all things. There are ancestral spirits who watch over their descendants from camps in the lower world, animal spirits who demand homage before the hunt, and spirits of sacred places.
An Elf might encounter a spirit in virtually any situation and in virtually any form. For instance, an ancestral spirit might appear as a very old man or a river spirit as watery snake. They will generally have one or two supernatural powers associated with their nature.
Of course, it would be impossible to present statistics for every spirit in the world of the Elf, but their avatars generally fall within the following parameters:
Role-playing Notes:: The personalities and goals of these minor spirits are as varied as their number. Generally, they promote and protect whatever it is they personify, and look dis-favorably upon anybody who harms their embodiment.
Animal spirits generally recognize the need for hunting and allow it, as long as the hunter shows the proper respect and is not cruel or greedy. Their omens and portents always take a form appropriate to their nature. Generally speaking, they are quicker and more severe in their punishments than the higher deities, for they must compensate for their limited power by demanding strict obedience from their worshipers.

Tenets of Faith

Spirits do not have priests in the sense that other deities do. Rather, they are venerated as the need arises and will often reward the individuals paying homage to them with special powers and protections for a limited time (usually 1-10 days). For example, a warrior venerating a cloud spirit might receive the ability to ride the winds. Obviously, such powers are only given when the actions of the individual are sincere and he makes some appropriate sacrifice to the spirit.
