The Spirit Guides of Amil and the Ringwes

'''Throughout the Amil forest, which stretches for over 1000 miles, and into the trio of lakes known as the Ringwes, there are numerous animal spirits that have served to guide and protect the Halflings, Forest Gnomes, and Wood Elves of the forest. '''

'''The most commonly known is  Qo’Rei the massive white catfish that travels between the ringwes, feeding the people who live around the lake by bringing them other fish, and often healing their wounds and curing diseases. '''

'''Another known and loved animal spirit is  the Otter King Xah’req. His aid is called upon by hunters in the Amil forest who become lost, or cannot find their prey. Xah’req has been known to help hunters find their prey for a share of the meat, and to lead lost hunters on long winding journeys, that despite sometimes taking a year or more to complete will always bring the hunter safely home. Hunters often leave shiny objects at small shrines along the river to seek his favor.'''

'''In the fringes of the forest, where men most commonly travel is Quil’Sha he appears as a massive black wolf. He is known to be kind and gentle, but only with those who obey the laws of the forest. For those who obey the laws of the forest, his coat appears to be made of the night sky and shimmers with stars and aurora. To those breaking the law of the forest, his coat is a deep black, a starless night on a new moon, and they will not see him until it is too late'''

''' In the deeper more dense jungle portions can be found Nyx the panther spirit. The counterpart to Quil’sha, he prowls the jungle portions of the vast woodland and ensure that the animals are obeying the laws of the jungle. When the harmony of nature gets out of balance in the jungle it is up to Nyx to set things aright.'''
