 Souls who's actions in life did not lead them to Celestia or the Hells so ended up in //Equilibrius//, Purgatory for the souls of the mundane. they then after any number of years in the realm of Grey if the souls have shown strong sense of will to better themselves where most others simply fall into the endless grey cycle of the realm are chosen by the New gods who oversee this purgatory. \\
 Knighting them in a way to be reborn as the undead species known as a Psychopomp.
-They are often purgatory's enforces. Soldiers to protect the cycle of death, those in Un-death are the Psychopomp's targets, their purpose aligns closely to Clerics of the grave domain. \\

+Psychopomps come in a wide variety of forms, Before chosen by the Gods of the //Grave Domain// they may just be blank featureless spectres or souls or other humanoid bodies of grey. Once chosen however Psycopomps are granted a new form they are able to guide using their own will, this makes Psychopomps very varied in appearance but often share similar traits with what you would expect of an undead creature. \\
+once the form is made it cannot be changed.
+All this comes at a cost however. A Psychopomp does not get a choice in becoming one in the first place, and if a Psychopomp perishes outside //Equilibris// then their soul is destroyed, having no Afterlife to go to.

-a Vampire or Vampirism is not strictly a species on its own but rather a genetic condition as most other species are able to be infected with Vampirism and so become Vampires of their species. \\ But it is not a developing condition and rather a transformative one when hosts of the condition all share similar traits.

+When death takes a mortal and destroys the flesh. If the soul has a strong enough will or is perhaps cursed or bound in some way a Spectre is created. Most such creatures fall into some sort of hysteria or madness over their death, if not right away the never ending years of eternal undeath may. Or they may be hunted by representatives of the __Grave Domain__ coming to cleanse their personified upset in the cycle \\
+Though not all Spectres may be so mindless. \\
+Some are able to hold their form and mind together to become something more tangible and coherent, Others may have been forced into transformation via dark rituals, Bargains may have been struck with higher powers. What ever the case there are rare few Spectres in //Felwind// that could be considered companion yet they still fear the hunt of a silver blade.
