You can really feel the generations and personalities between them. There's also that romantic element of mystery.

I figure I could say more about the Oakenlings, the Bear Tribe's settlement land is call Eikenvat (oak lake), the Wolf Tribe's is Wahyaweya (wolf creek) and the Eagle Tribe, Yu'oodah (high cliff).

And I in fact really enjoy answering your questions! I really appreciate that you're willing to take time exploring my world. And your questions always give me new ideas, and help me sorting things out :)

Do as you will Saralyn. I don't want to give the inspiration that the three tribes represent the three culture groups, those are general inspirations. Though the Bear Tribe does tend to have a Viking vibe, the other two are the mixture of Tibetan and Native American.

Well, Leaf, at first I was thinking he would fit in Wolf Tribe as well, but now I have reasons for putting him in Eagle Tribe. He doesn't look terribly Tibetan, but as we are learning with Hawkeye, looks can be deceiving, lol.

Wow, thanks so, so much for answering all of my pestering questions, Leaf!!! I really appreciate it, and I'm very glad that you like this Witch family!! And thanks to you as well, Evenstar; I didn't consciously base this on Hero's Journey, but I can't say that it wasn't playing in the back of my mind, lol!!

And Saralyn, which tribe do you want Hawkeye to belong to? He gives me the first inspiration of the Wolf Tribe, and I really want to know more about him!

they also demonstrate a certain vulnerability to iron, whether due to the metal itself or the shape aura it gives out. Ghosts are empathic, and telepathic to some degree. Also there's one thing, sometimes animal spirits are called ghosts as well.

for the demons, or other being dare to have their fingers in souls. However all souls are attracted to Morrigans' lantern light so they will automatically go to them, and the Veiled Court will sense their existence and sends Morrigans for them. Ghosts are afraid of light and strong energy (the flying around wireless signal can affect their existence), also the aura of someone with strong magical ability can also interfere them. Ghosts cannot go across a threshold unless being invited...

They look great, and the story is so cool as well! Black hair and golden eyes...do I sense some Hero's Journey influence? ;)

A spectre is like a ghostly Fae, not quite Fae just a more powerful ghost, s/he can stay in the earthly realms for a longer period of time (several hundreds of years) and interact with physical objects, and float, and walk through walls...all kind of ghostly stuff. There's also another case, if a person die before his/her time, no Morrigan will come by the time of his/her death, leaving both his/her mind and soul in the mortal plane, that is very dangerous for them, it's like free buffet...

that they are no longer among the living. The Morrigans will go search for these wandering spirits, they make easy prey for the demons. If the ghosts insist on stay back for their unfinished businesses, the Morrigans will let them do what they need, as long as no one is harmed (physically), if the ghosts become too aggressive and vengeful, the Morrigans will take extreme solutions. If being left alone, a ghost will parish sooner or later, however, a ghost can somehow ascend as a spectre...
