Feldgeister
A feldgeister is a demonic spirit entity common in the folklore of the Empire of the Hammer & Anvil. The feldgeister is a petty demonic spirit that gorges itself upon the persistent plight of farmers in remote hinterlands. Once a feldgeister has gained enough power it takes the form of a humanoid figure formed of sticks, vines and bark. Driven by pure malice feldgeister stalk remote farms driving the residents mad before killing them and taking their children into the deep forest to feast upon. Uritan witch hunters claim the only true way to destroy one of these entities is to burn its body with a blessed torch and cast their ashes into the eastern wind as the sun dies.
