| Some are born with sight beyond sight----an uncanny sense that something walks beside the living, unseen but ever present. A Spirit Caller is one such soul, marked from birth or awakened by trauma, who can perceive and commune with the spirits of the dead, the echoes of emotion in places of power, and the whispered secrets of things long forgotten.

| Not all spirits are dead. The Spirit Caller may also perceive the animating essence in rivers, trees, and stones----spirits of place and nature, ancient and slow to stir, yet potent allies or terrible foes. With care, respect, and wisdom, a Caller may gain their favour, drawing on blessings no mortal blade can win. But with arrogance or cruelty, they risk more than they know. | Not all spirits are dead.

| - | A Spirit Caller is a seer, medium, and occasional exorcist----able to glean hidden truths, call upon spirits for aid, and even influence the ethereal. They excel in social or investigative roles, especially where the living intersect with the dead. But theirs is a perilous path, and every gift comes with a cost. | + | A Spirit Caller is a seer, medium, and occasional exorcist---able to glean hidden truths, call upon spirits for aid, and even influence the ethereal.
