The line between life and death is but a veil; let me show you what lies beyond.

Priests who follow the Faith in the Spirits possess a profound connection to lost and wandering souls. These priests can reach out to these spirits, guided by the blessing of the Goddess Adon. This divine connection allows them to traverse between the Shadow Plane, the Ethereal Plane, and the Material Plane, spreading Adon's message and guiding souls on their journey.

Death and Rebirth

In Zin, the cosmology of this faith, death is not the end but a transition. Adon, the Goddess of Spirits, oversees the souls born from the primordial essence of the Great Affix. With the help of Edysus, the God of Travels, these souls are sent to new lives, from the smallest blade of grass to sentient beings. When a person dies, their spirit travels through the Shadow Plane, awaiting judgment.

Guiding the Immature Souls

Not all souls are ready for judgment. Those that are immature and incapable of discerning right from wrong are sent back to the Material Plane by Adon. These souls are given another chance to grow and learn, under the watchful eyes of the priests of this subclass.

Walking in Shadowform

Priests of Faith in the Spirits have the unique ability to enter Shadowform, allowing them to walk between the realm of the living and the dead. In this form, they can see and speak with the dead, offering guidance and solace. This ability makes them invaluable to those seeking to communicate with lost loved ones or ensure a safe passage through the afterlife.

Seekers of Guidance

People often seek out these priests for their wisdom and ability to commune with the dead. Whether it is to gain advice, seek closure, or bargain with Adon for a swift journey through the Shadow Plane, these priests provide essential services. Their rituals and ceremonies help ensure that spirits do not linger in the Shadow Plane longer than necessary.

Shunned and Feared

Despite their vital role, priests of this subclass are sometimes shunned by society. Their magic, which borders on necromancy and the use of dark energies, invokes fear and suspicion. The Color of Black, associated with their practices, is seen as ominous and dangerous. Yet, it is this very power that allows them to perform their sacred duties, navigating the delicate balance between life and death.
