Banshee

Banshees are the furious, tormented souls of those bound to the world by a betrayal that defined the final hours of their lives. Some banshees arise from those who were slain by trusted friends and allies, or whose loved ones betrayed them on their deathbeds. Others spawn from those whose treacherous deeds shortly before their deaths left a stain upon their souls. Regardless of their origin, banshees despise the living. This hatred of life is all too often a horrific inversion of their personalities in life. Some speculate that the more kind-hearted the person (and the more wrenching the betrayal), the crueler the banshee.

Banshees rarely stray far from where they perished and typically haunt thick forests and canopied swamps where little light graces the ground. Many banshees are elves and can be found in the elven nation of Kyonin, specifically in Tanglebriar, the sinister domain of the demon Treerazer. Similarly, a large number of banshees can be found lurking in the frozen wastes in northern Avistan, created from a cruel and widespread betrayal that is centuries old.
