Emets

While all living beings contain Breath in their corporeal forms, occasionally fragments can become tangled together at Nodus, forming entities known as emets. Also containing a Body, Mind and Soul, the emets are by no means human, some quite horribly monstrous, others angelic; while still others mischievous and very fairy-like. For the most part, emets seem indifferent to humans, unable to communicate except through Renders and Weavers, and remain close to their nodus of origin, or at least Lines of ley lest they fade away. Many legends have accumulated over the years as to the origins and purpose of the emets, Renders and Weavers differing greatly on how to treat these creatures.

Benign emets are known as engels, while malicious ones as ghuls.

Waer
It is widely known that the first emet was Waer, a feminine entity analogous to Satan in the Christian tradition. The first of her kind, she quickly realized her existence was an accident, unlike all the humans that were the result of Sol’s purposeful sacrifice. As such, she resented Sol’s chosen children and therefore sought to make their lives miserable. Physically unstoppable and with the abilities of all the Blessed, Waer created more of her kind, parallel to demons to aid her in her war against humans. Their names including Bleim, Kor and Vradra, they were the scourge of early human existence on Ayr.

Though the scriptures still speak of Waer as a real entity, most people now believe her to be simply a metaphor for temptation.
