The ghosts are but a shadow of their former selves, unwilling to accept death and unable to take part in life. They watch with hungry eyes as others enjoy all that life has to offer. As the living plot schemes and make their plans, the ghosts know that it is all for naught. They know this harsh reality so well that often what is said or done is lost to them. All they are able to see are the foolish ones who waste the precious chance they have been given in this world. While the ghostly apparitions take little interest in the current events of the world, this does not leave them without agendas of their own. Some will appear just before a terrible massacre to watch with dark pleasure as others are made to join their ranks in tortured existence. Others will offer a sense of hope to a lonely wanderer of the living. Their motives are as difficult to see as their transparent forms and the stories told of them chilling.
There are a rumored few, just as feared as the ghosts, who are able to transcend the planes of life and death. Their voices harsh as they incant the ancient words of death. Some believe them to be necromancers, witches, warlocks, the power-hungry who have made pacts with dark beings, or even undead themselves. These questionable people seem to understand the specters or perhaps they only play a cruel joke meant to frighten others. It is hard to say, how could one know for sure without divulging in such dark acts? Or... do you know more than you let on?
