Ghosts

Abstract

Ghosts are real and work mostly how you expect them to.

Description

After death, one may remain on this mortal plane as a ghost. Individuals who become ghosts retain their memory, personality and goals, but are by default intangible and no longer have corporeal needs. Many ghosts can manifest themselves as a regular person for a limited period of time[^Inferred from conversation, needs confirming]. They may also look deathly, especially if they died a violent death.

Politics and Organization

Ghosts have organized themselves into an empire that spans all of Europa. I know little of the specific organization, but it seems to have roots to the Roman Empire of antiquity; A significant number of ghosts in Arthorne belong to the 14th legion of Stygia[^How closely do these legions map to the practices of the legions in antiquity? A larger-than-sustainable proportion of local ghosts seem to belong to the legion– though I suppose ghosts do not need to farm food to eat.]. Notably, the legion (and presumably the wider empire) is recognized as a soverign entity by our local Baron[^What laws are there on the other side?].
