Reapers
Reapers are higher spirits that serve Yoma, the Goddess of Death. Created between her and her father, Idraen, the duty of reapers is to collect souls of the dead and usher them to the afterlife. There are only several hundred reapers in Aserra, which leaves them spread thin so that they cannot be responsible for every single soul that passes in Aserra. From time to time, they assist ghosts in crossing over if they have not slipped too far into madness. They can break the bonds that bind ghosts to the mortal world, but some ghosts require exorcism, and Reapers are not always willing to deal with ghosts that have lost their humanity, as they are no longer viable for reincarnation.
Reapers are immortal beings, weaker than angels and demons in spiritual strength, but around equivalent to fae. Much of their time is spent roaming the Aether to find souls, and then sending them to limbo to be weighed. In their natural form, Reapers can be terrifying to behold, appearing as skeletons swathed in black robes. However, they can disguise themselves with illusions in order to tempt souls to follow them, often taking the form of a loved one who has passed before to convince them that peace awaits on the other side.
