The Spirit Realms

When the Veil between the spirit-realms first thinned enough that travel between the mortal worlds and the spiritual ones were possible, people started to find ancient truths opening up within them. Ancestor spirits once barred within their realms were now able to cross over to the waking world, and with them came changes within the populace. Some found that ancient blood was awoken whilst others found that they possessed innate abilities to affect the spiritual worlds, drawing upon hidden powers that now awoke and sung within their blood.

This was the dawn of a new Era, changing the entire world for ever more.

To those that remembered their previous lives and the worlds of old, much was familiar. But, the supernaturally casted members of society did not come from another world. No, these casted came from the spirit-realms that have always lived alongside the waking world.

Each casted being has roots in one of the spirit-realms. This is where their essence is from and where the spirit that has bound itself to a physical host once resided. Each of those spiritually gifted, casted or not, can trace their roots back to one of these realms.

Whilst there are some exceptions to the rule, those who are chosen by an ancestral spirit find themselves with heightened senses, faster healing, and certain abilities that come with the spirit that has chosen them. The host itself still lives a human lifespan, but, once the spirit is once more free to return to the natural cycle of things, it is able to take a new host, awaken a new soul. With this can come memories of past lives.
