Nehjarra

A Nehjarra is a Spirit from Chicago, Illinois.

Background

One truth about Nehjarra is that it has been around for a very long time. The spirit predates the colonizing of Chicago and is tied somehow to the land surrounding the Miller-Roths' compound. Originally Native Americans of several different tribes used the land as a trading post, and even the spiritual leaders of their communities mistook the powerful presence they felt for a benign one. Nehjarra is a demonic spirit of deception - subtle, intricate and deadly. The spirit would take credit for the fall of numerous societies that have chosen "its" land for their homes, but speaking the truth is not something Nehjarra prefers to do, because to this spirit, the truth quite literally hurts. For some reason, the spirit is trapped in an area of about two square miles, and nearly everything within that "zone" is eventually warped into a falsehood.

The spirit's goals are somewhat mystifying, if they make any rational sense at all. Historically, it would seem that Nehjarra simply desires to cause humans to destroy themselves in clouds of lies, but presently, the Miller-Roths and their little cabal have presented the spirit with a very different canvas to paint its own special versions of reality. Apparently, Nehjarra wants to take more permanent residence inside of Samuel, and, for some reason, intends to impregnate Katherine.

The spirit has come very close to seeing its desires grow to fruition, bit it must weave ever-more deceptive webs and draw in more of these beings whose beliefs shape reality in order to manifest the strength it will take to inhabit the material realm permanently. It's possible that once Nehjarra creates an offspring the spirit will be able to take the body of its child and finally be free to leave the locality it has been tied to for so many ages.
