This is cool. In fact I can imagine that it is how many
guilds/groups got started--one strong leader first organized people,
and after his or her death they realized that they wanted to keep the
benefit of a group, but needed something to bind themselves together.
I have a couple of questions though.
- Is this possibility to imply that the group trying to gain a wyter
can in some way influence what becomes their wyter? i.e. can you
specifically try to get the spirit of your departed leader Hiorl Oak-
to become your wyter? Or is this just something that
fate/the narrator may decide to offer up, but which is far beyond the
control of those searching for the wyter.
- The relationship of the wyter's body and the wyter. Do you first
chose the body, and then the wyter will enter it? Or does the wyter
chose the form of its body.
2a) If the former, is the body you chose apt to influence the
nature of your wyter? i.e. a plow versus a sword influencing how
agricultural or martial your wyter might be? Or a favorite object of
your dead leader making him more apt to become the wyter?
2b) If the latter, how representative of the daimone is the body
generally? If your leader was a Yinkini, are they apt to make an
alynx their form when they return as a wyter? Or would they choose
the form more in line with the needs of the group that summoned them?
