- This article describes the shaman hybrid class. For the Mwangi philosophy of shamanism, please see shamanism.
Shamans deal in the spirits and energies that surround and infuse the world around them, forming powerful bonds with them and invoking them for their powers, often in the form of a spirit animal.1
Regions
Shamans are common among many human tribes, who revere their connection to spirits, as well as in rural communities as healers and spiritual leaders.2
Other regions where shamans are esteemed include:
- the Crown of the World, where Erutaki sky readers interpret the shifting aurora3
- the Five Kings Mountains, where rivethun shamans are part of a growing spiritual reawakening among dwarves4
- Icemark, where some shamans lead Varki tribes4
- the Zenj tribes of the Mwangi Expanse, where shamans are considered vital spiritual defenders key to survival4
- Nidal, where shamans speak to spirits in its many shadows3
- the Kellid tribes of the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, where mammoth spirits are especially potent allies4
- the Shoanti tribes of Varisia, where they also serve as diplomats and mediators between tribes4
- among lizardfolk, where shamans often lead the tribes' animistic religion5
