On August 7th of the year 1, amidst the scarred landscapes of Coia, a humanoid spirit was violently torn from its natural path to the afterlife. This date marked not a birth, but a tragic transformation, as the lingering psychic wounds of the land prevented its soul from finding peace. Instead, it became a specter, an embodiment of the profound suffering etched into Coia's history.

The centuries of brutal conflicts, including the devastating Shadow War and the subsequent Civil War over the Bukhara Spire Gateways, had left the land ravaged by magical cataclysms. These events created specific tragic locales where souls were ripped from their journey, tethered irrevocably to the Material Plane. The nascent specter was one such unfortunate spirit, its anguish immediately beginning to curdle into an all-consuming hatred for the living.

Stripped of all memory and identity, the creature lost any connection to its former life, becoming an unfettered and furious entity. It no longer possessed the capacity for who or what it once was, condemned instead to perpetually walk the world as a phantom of its past suffering. Its very existence became a grim reminder of the violence that plagued Coia.

To this day, the specter endures, a common horror found haunting the forlorn ruins of villages decimated by demonic incursions and wandering the battlefields where the civil war raged. It perpetually seeks living creatures to extinguish, fueled by an eternal, festering hatred. The specter remains a constant, grim reminder of Coia's violent past, its deathless state an ongoing testament to the suffering it embodies.
