Blightling
Blightlings (also known as krystallgeister, shatterlings, or iri thim) are spirits of urban blight.
Overview
| “ | It's not worth it, is it? | ” |
Taking the form of bums or street people, blightlings feed on despair, apathy, and the physical decay of a city. Their ruinous nature is ever more apparent the closer one gets — limbs are twisted and broken, while bodies are formed of glass, concrete, and garbage.
Though these spirits do strike out against those who seek to reverse an area's blighting, they are frequently mere harbingers of more dangerous spirits of oppression, violence, and despair.
Pleasing blightlings is as simple as vandalizing an area.
