Ilusah

Ilusah is a First Tongue term used by the Uratha to describe the highest and most exalted rank of spirit; the spirits of planetary bodies like Earth, the Sun and the Moon are among the Ilusahim. They are known by humans as "Celestines".

Ilusahim are the aloof and distant gods of Shadow — spirits of global or universal phenomena, and rulers of entire umia. The “weaker” Ilusah are spirits like the Firstborn; patrons of entire tribes. Mother Luna and her brother Helios are the best-known greater Ilusahim.

Spirits of this rank are almost never seen in person, preferring to make their lairs in deep, protected Places-That-Aren’t, and are too powerful for the world of Flesh to support them—they can’t cross the Gauntlet. Their servant umia of Dihim, Ensahim, and Hursahim enact their will across the Hisil.

Spiritual Hierarchy

Spirits are all inherently aware of their relative power to one another, intuitively comparing hundreds of tiny differences. Uratha group them into five main groups:

1) Muthrum (Mote)

  • No rank

2) Hursihim (Gafflings)

3) Ensihim (Jagglings)

4) Dihim (Incarnae)

5) Ilusahim (Celestines)
