Ancestral Spirit

Ancestral spirits are the spirits of honored dead, empowered by the reverence and remembrance of their living kin.Fantasy, p.112-113 As they are unmanifested spirits, Ancestral Spirits do not directly interact with the mortal plane, but can bestow blessings and curses to affect mortals. Ancestral spirits seldom appear and speak, usually only doing one or the other.
Ancestral Spirits tend to appear to their kin in dramatic moments of crisis, for instance, when a character is at their lowest, most lost, or near death.
== Roleplaying Notes ==
"I cannot find him alone. I need you. I need you to guide my sword..." — Inigo Montoya, The Princess BrideAn Ancestral Spirit can help bind a character to their past and remind them of their future goals. They can quite readily justify a lucky break when doing heroics... or to create dramatic failures when running from one's responsibilities.
