=== Mature Spirits ===

Mature spirits are ~~established entities tied to enduring geographical or elemental features. Often~~ semi-conscious~~, they may appear as guardians of caves, ridges, or mining tunnels,~~ and ~~they maintain relationships~~ with ~~local communities. Their forms and behavior often reflect the geological forces that created them.~~

Mature spirits emerge from recurring experiences and collective recognition of localized phenomena. Though lesser in scope than ancestral spirits, they are semi-conscious and often associated with physical objects or places of symbolic significance. Unlike nascent spirits, mature spirits possess defined identities and are regularly invoked in cultural practices tied to memory, craftsmanship, or ritual grounding.

~~Examples:~~

* Hollow-Watchers – Spirits of ~~subterranean voids known for their echoing voices~~.

* Stonewardens – Guardians of boundary ridges, invoked in ~~Orasian stonecraft rites~~.

=== Ancestral Spirits ===

Line 73:

Line 68:

Examples:

* ~~The Sleeper Beneath~~ – A vast~~, dormant~~ spirit ~~located~~ in the ~~roots of~~ the ~~Citadel Mountains~~.

* Tharoz-Mir – Spirit of the Great Tunnels, Tharoz-Mir embodies the enduring memory of Terasil’s subterranean veins. Said to span the entirety of the Deep Roads, this vast [[Ancestral Spirit|ancestral spirit]] is less a single entity and more a presence felt in the stone itself—steady, resonant, and ancient. Orasians and Minthari alike revere it as a silent witness to all passage, trade, and migration beneath the earth.

* Orak-Thun – Revered in legend as the first sentient mountain, now a spiritual locus of Orasian lineage rites.
