Spirits (Fae)

Spirits are a form of fae, not to be confused with spirits when referring to ghosts. They are known for being a bit mischievous and deriving pleasure from bothering travelers. They're often tied to forests of a region or other areas such as caves, cliffs, dunes, hills, or bodies of water. It's believed every region has a spirit tied to it, though it is not known for certain.

Appearance
Most spirits hold a strong resemblance to other fey or elves. Many describe them as looking like High Elves but more fae. Often they resemble humans from the area they're in with a slightly green tone to their skin. Their eyes are often a solid color and they have long pointed ears. They wear clothes of thin white gossamer.

Spirit Orbs
Each spirit has a set of orbs they may decide to gift to travelers that come across them, often after performing a minor task. Some may demand riddles be answered, others may request a song be sung. Often they are menial tasks that can be completed without much difficulty.

The orbs gifted to travelers are often useless without a full set, but the set is always less than ten orbs. It is often tied to the region or the spirit's interests with themes like colors, dragons, spices, card suits, or chess pieces.

When gathered together the orbs can do one singular "miraculous" act, often a bit of a deus ex machina at a time decided by the holder.
