There are spirits all around, and many cultures revere and worship the spirits of their ancestors or special guardian spirits. Others, though, enjoy a stronger connection to the spirits and gain blessings from them directly. Champions of their dead ancestors, channelers of nature spirits to wreak vengeance on the living, there is more than one path to becoming Spiritsworn.

Becoming spiritsworn means you forfeit the life you otherwise would have to let the spirits inhabit your body and work through you. Their missions become your missions. They compel you to right ancient wrongs and wrest territory from the hands of their enemies. Under their direction, you might venture into perilous places in hopes of recovering an artifact or take up arms and lead others in a war of vengeance or protect a homeland or nature.
