Specters are ghostly undead. While they can be summoned or bound by necromancy, many come into being spontaneously, created from the unquiet spirits of those who died under special circumstances.

Seers are known for being especially adept at projecting themselves into the Astral and navigating its hazards. Dreamwalkers are seers who have forsaken the waking world to wander the Sea of Dreams. They are some of the few truly rational beings to travel the mists. Some serve as guides to wayward dreamers. Others seek learning or understanding, a grasp of future events, or even a connection to the primal thought.
