Filgie

Filgie, filgy, filkie, or fillow is a guardian spirit that attaches to a family and becomes their protector and patron. They can be known as idises if female and as hemmings, hamps, or spedlings when associated with fortune. Beyond Gretchland they are known as fylgja (pl. fylgjur), filgia, dís (pl. dísir), disa, hamingja, luonto.
They can be passed down for many generations. In the home, they will also assist with childbirth and speak prophecies—any threads of fate they might see—over the child. Families with filgies will have more dreams than those without—and especially dreams of warning.
Filgies can also be specific guardian spirits of individuals, mirroring them in appearance and even representing them, but this has varying legal status in different lands (many lawcodes do not allow it).
When a filgie takes on the appearance of a spectre, then it is known that doom is coming for that family or individual.
It is said the people of Skara have bound themselves to filgies, called fylgjur, and thus will grow sick and weak if they are separated from them.
