Revethavar

A revethavar is the remaining spirit of a ritual suicide.

Physical Description
In the shadow cast by a light, revethavarsin seem to resemble "a standing person". They are possibly transparent, unless caught in lamplight, with bodies seemingly made of air.

Abilities
Revethavarsin can be physically powerful enough to strangle adult elves to death. Mentally, their minds can be like touching knives. Even strong Witnesses for the Dead can struggle to put them to rest. The older revethavarsin are, the more powerful they appear to be.

Revethavarsin possibly cause hauntings of ghosts.

Revethavarsin can be capable of planning hunts, and mentally vocalizing full sentences.

Finding a revethavar's name - the name of the person who died to form it - and telling it, "you have been wrongly kept from your slumber. You must rest. [Name], let the darkness take you," repeatedly, can make it dissolve/quiet it, similar to dealing with ghouls.

Communing with a revethavar can burn out a Witness for the Dead.

Revethavarsin can live for some time (e.g., 2000+ years).

Characteristics (culture, habits)
Revethavarsin appear to be rare. They are created through dangerous rituals, possibly involving the worship of Ulis.

Revethavarsin are spoken of in ominous wonder-tales, and it was only recently discovered in Amalo by some that they could be destroyed, when Thara Celehar quieted the revethavar of Hasthemis Brulnemar.
