Nightwalker (Aetheric Realms)

Nightwalkers are the spirits of sentient creatures that are afraid to pass on, or were otherwise trapped (by extreme anger, lust, etc) in a mortal realm. Since they are not truly alive, they can be found in virtually any environment, including aether, air, or underwater.
==Society==
Nightwalkers are the souls of beings that have died, and thus have no true culture. However, they do retain sentience and vague memories of their past life. As such, they frequently gather with others that had shared similar lives or cultures in the past. However, they all share a basic philosophy that life should not be snuffed out needlessly.
Of course, like all sentient creatures, they have varying opinions, including the definition of "needlessly." Again, like all sentient creatures, some inevitably choose to reject this philosophy all together, particularly those that were that were slain while they were in the midst of rage.
