World of Spirits

The World of Spirits is a layer of reality, parallel to and extending beyond the mortal realm.

It is inhabited by small and great spirits alike. It is believed that the spirit world existed first and that some great spirits worked together to create the waking world.

Magic
It is thought that the Spirit World is a source of magic. The many arcane traditions in Umora appear to access this magic in different ways. For example, witches are born with a gift allowing them to work as go-betweens and speak on behalf of the hidden spirit world or vice versa. The chalices of Rhuv gain magic by electing to voluntary possession by a magical entity, possibly a spirit. Wizards, and some hedge mages, learned how the spirits themselves got their magic and ventured to learn magic by going straight to this source. Additionally, some people may have magic because one of their parents was a spirit or because they bargained for the secret of the spirits' magic.

Time
When the Spirit World interacts with the mortal world, time flows differently.
