Spirit folk

The spirit folk hell from a completely different archipelago that is not part of this Kingdom. However, within the setting they do, they have set up a small colony within the whispering Islands, which is interesting as most colonies and empires that happen here shut down. It has a high flow of magic and therefore most colonies can't survive. Given that though the players will be encountering these fairly samurai themed creatures, they all have different types. They're related to elements very similar to the genasi.

They work in a very specific way. The water elemental ones are very similar to kappa. These are like human style kappa. The fire Spirit folk are similar to Oni. The wind ones are similar to Fox people and the earth ones are going to be similar to, I haven't really decided yet, but I'm thinking tanuki. Of course there are outliers within this and these outliers will have different features. The Spirit folk can interbreed too which will cause them to produce different features and sometimes produce different yokai in general to the four that are listed there.

The funny thing about this is this area is also going to be very heavily leaning into iajutsu which is sword drawing. That means that I'm going to make it available as a skill to pick up here with items and some swords and weapons here will give that feat and if the people wish to I'm going to let them recruit from this race. If you are a player reading this, that's fine. You might spoil it a little for yourself knowing this and that's fine. If you read this before the second game that we have on October 3rd I believe is the going day here. Then just know that these people are going to be a group that you run into. They are friendlyish. They're kind of untrusting and they have a larger Island, but they're going to be an Asian themed group.
