Sister Garaele’s story concerning wraiths didn’t make the final cut for Festival of Faces, but I think this one has the most useful information in it. I wanted Garaele to provide insight into the monster’s weakness (sunlight sensitivity), as well as its most devastating effect (create specter). Knowledge that might benefit the characters once they meet Mormesk the Wraith.

I think this story describes both succinctly:

Born of malice and darkness, these spirits despise the touch of the sun and seek to quench all that walk beneath it. Those unfortunate enough to draw their final breath in the embrace of the wraith finds their immortal soul condemned to walk this world forevermore, shut out of the afterlife for all eternity.
