Founded in 288 AF by Firefox Sly as the Shaman Guild, the '''Spirit Walkers''' are one of the Houses residing in the [[city]] of Hashan, Crown of the Ithmia. Their [[House estates|House estate]] is the Fortress of the Spirit Walkers and is physically located within Hashan.
:''This page is about the House. For the class, please see [[Shaman]].''


The Spirit Walkers act as an assembly of warriors and ritualists who hold that the world is surrounded by and filled with invisible spiritual power that embraces all aspects of life. Standing as a bridge between all spirits and the world of mortals, they negotiate peaceful coexistence between them.  
Walking the precarious and, at times, dangerous bridge between the spiritual and material worlds, the '''Spirit Walkers''' hold the notion of balancing the path as paramount to survival. A false step in either direction can collapse the path, with all efforts, and even practitioners lost to other realms.
Abiding by the rule of "Three Upon Three Upon Three", the Spirit Walkers are ruled by a Prophet in the governing form of a dictatorship. No House leader may serve more than a twenty-seven [[year]] term. An Heir to the Prophet’s leadership is named at the cusp of the leader's first decade in that position. Upon the naming and ascension of each new Heir, the successor to the current Prophet or Prophetess, a celebration is held called the [[Festival of the Spirits]].


Although the House itself is [[Patron|Patroned]] by Lord Thoth, members of the House are free to follow the spiritual path and the residence of their choice. No matter the path, members of the Spirit Walkers understand and uphold their role as keepers of sacred knowledge and honour the spiritual gifts they receive.

Little information is known regarding the founding of the organisation.


To walk between worlds is a complex and delicate undertaking, requiring absolute dedication. Therefore, the Code of the Spirit Walker - Courage, Honour, Strength, Loyalty, and Respect - must be demonstrated in the life of each member. Oaths made to the Spirit Walkers House and its members supercede all others.

In the year 688AF, following the [[Sundering of the Crown]], the members of the Tribe abandoned the Fortress, effectively disbanding the organisation, and joining the citizens of Hashan in reshaping the focus of their city.

Walking the precarious and, at times, dangerous bridge between the spiritual and material worlds, the Spirit Walkers hold the notion of balancing the path as paramount to survival. A false step in either direction can collapse the path, with all efforts, and even practitioners lost to other realms.

Abiding by the rule of "Three Upon Three Upon Three", the Spirit Walkers are ruled by a Prophet in the governing form of a dictatorship. No House leader may serve more than a twenty-seven year term. An Heir to the Prophet’s leadership is named at the cusp of the leader's first decade in that position. Upon the naming and ascension of each new Heir, the successor to the current Prophet or Prophetess, a celebration is held called the Festival of the Spirits.
