Exploring with the Colors of the Wind

Magic is an extension of a persons will. Calling forth the spirits of the universe and commanding them to alter reality. This direct manifestation & interaction with these creatures naturally has led to mortal races to become attached to the small floating specters. Especially when using magic over and over again can cause spirits to linger around their casters.

Monstrous & terrifying creatures have always come from the deep woods. No one knows where or why they come, but it is a constant threat to the nearby towns. Though they occasionally come from the woods in numbers, they never have threatened to overrun the country side. Leaving interested parties, such as monster hunters and adventuring guilds, alone to deal with the persistent issue.

Not too grand, not world ending, not deep political intrigue. Spiritus is a world meant for simple adventurers. There is conflict, but not real war. There is monstrous creatures, but not world ending monstrosities. There is political tension, but not world blown conspiracies. But there is PLENTY of room to grow your own "epic" level adventures in, if you want to of course.

Unfeeling, unmoving, and unrelenting gods watch over the world. Intervening only when something threatens the Grand Alignment. They are the most powerful of spirits who maintain the lines of morality of all creatures. Only the most purely aligned creatures can hope to gain a blessing from them.
