The Creaturic Sisters

### Summary

Inside living creatures, are **souls**. The nature of these souls differ, and this is due to The Creaturic Sisters. Five Goddesses, who's powers influence the life of a being. Each embodies a different aspect of Waeniryn creatures, gifting them with attributes. Humanity, magic, animals, monstrousness, nature.

### The Sisters

Alta: Goddess of will; the purpose in life to know you are a being with intelligence, with empathy, with a goal. What we know as humanity, though an Alta soul does not have to be human.

Nympha: Goddess of magic; the essence of magic itself. A whimsical and mysterious force that creates supernatural sparks in the world.

Wiilda: Goddess of the wild; the act of being wild, animal. Wiilda's force is what makes beasts how they are. Free, unkept, not limited by humanoid brain - but pure Wiilda souls lack humanoid will.

Monterra: Goddess of dark force; A dangerous spark that is purely monstrous. Urges to kill, fear, bloodlust. Not all Monterra souls are strictly evil, especially when mixed with other soul types, however a Monterra Soul will at least have a dark side of fearsome danger under the surface.

Natura: Goddess of nature; Alive, but in a different way. Pure Natura lacks will completely, but is still alive. Trees, grass, plants. The soft, mellowness of nature. Breathing, but in a subtle way not seen to the average unopened eye.

### What is being an Alta soul? What makes up the Races of Waeniryn?

Through the power of the Creaturic Goddess Sisters, life imbeds itself in Waeniryn in different ways. For example, Humans and Elves are **Pure Alta** souls.

But Alta souls may also be linked with Nympha souls, for example, as the soul has a magic spark in it from Nympha, giving the humanoid-brained creature magical abilities. For example, a Moonfolk is an **Alympha** soul. A soul that is Humanoid, with human will, but has magic imbedded inside. A combination of Alta and Nympha.

Alta souls are the basis for being a **Race** in Waeniryn; due to having compassion, will, goals, intelligence. Humanoid brains - special beings that have full free will and control. This does not mean that all Alta souls will be purely Alta though, like Humans or Elves. Many **Races** also are imbedded with multiple other Goddess Souls creating races such as tieflings, aarakocra, merpeople, harpires and more. Since they have the processing-level of humans and the will to live their lives in their own ways, they are Alta, but many may not have any kind of human features. Or, every other soul type as well as Alta, making a mix of souls but the brain of a human. For example, Grungs. Magical creatures that are giant frogs, however have human brains.

Some Alta souls like Marowa and Forest Lurers, are also embedded with **Monterra** souls, making them partially **monsters**. This gives them a wild side, a darkness creeping through them, however also humanoid brains that give them free will and purpose. The monster-level in **Alterra** **souls** differs for the being itself, meaning that some are good people but just have a dark side in them, but some have a complete bloodlust and a need to attack. It is not set in stone for every single being, so depends on the person themself, along with the level of Monterra inside of them.
