Phosoir (5e Race)
Phosoir[edit]
===Physical Description=== Phosoir are haunting spirits that manifest as transparent blue humanoids from the waist up. Instead of legs, they emit a bluish fog cloud, creating the illusion of floating ghosts. Their ethereal forms flicker and waver, giving them an otherworldly and eerie presence. Phosoir are ancient spirits with a deep connection to the ethereal realms, and they possess powerful magic that allows them to curse and manipulate souls.
History[edit]
People theorize that they came from the ethereal plain and cursed people to become ghosts after death.
===Society=== As a race, they seem to look out for each other and perform rituals without saying anything about their beliefs or history to anyone outside the race. Although many theorize that the rituals probably are what keep them alive.
