Ilnari

Ilnari (also known as Am'ani and Wlålant in other regions) are spirits that are chosen to serve under Gods. They were, at some point, beings that lived and reincarnated on Earth but now provide a variety of services for both Earthly beings and beings who reside in Erewel.

Description
It is difficult to find an iconic form for Ilnari, because many take on many different forms which range from existing animals to mythical beasts or figures (many use animal forms representative of their aspect; dark and rats, death and dogs, etc). The more powerful Ilnari, who derive higher levels of power depending on what God they represent, may find shapeshifting very easy to do. Certain Ilnari, more notably Ilnari of earth, light, and time, find shapeshiting difficult to maintain or even impossible to do while Ilnari of air, fire, and dark are generally master shapeshifters.

Limits of Power
Ilnari are chosen to serve under certain Gods, so they are significantly weaker than most Gods and have many limitations to their powers. However, it is possible for Ilnari to grow in power. Many of them are gifted by Gods as incentives if they hold a Elnari, an Earthly spirit that might eventually reach status of Ilnari. They can also absorb power from other Ilnari or spirits by consuming their beings, but this rarely comes without punishment unless it is intended.
