Ravan

The ravan were the inhabitants of Yesod, the children of Beraz who regarded him as the one and only god. Their illusion ended when Asur, brother of Beraz, shattered their world and forced the ravan to hide within the Sea of Chaos. There they were changed and twisted by their hatred and rage. Beraz, transformed into the Beast, joined his children in the Void and gathered them to him. The ravan are but ghosts, void wraiths that seek to reclaim what is theirs. They consider all Creation to be stolen, and want to rip it apart and remake it into Yesod. The ravan seek out bodies to possess, shaping and twisting them into preferred forms. They will claim anything, from dogs and deer, to men and other thinking beings. All these hosts are quickly corrupted by the energies of chaos. The choice of a ravan's host depends on the spirits place within the hierarchy, for while they believe they are the heirs to the cosmos, not all ravan are equal. Those closest to Beraz are the lords, while those who serve at the bottom of the hierarchy must content themselves with base, animal hosts. The ravan are mad and hateful after millennia of confinement to the roiling Sea of Chaos, though some of the higher spirits possess extremely subtle minds and immense magical powers. The driving goal of all ravan is too reclaim the fragments of Yesod and feed them to the Beast, their lord Beraz. When all the fragments have been restored, Beraz will be restored to his divine heritage and Yesod will be made new and sublime, the jewel of Creation, eternal and splendid.
