Death in Jarkes and the Spirits

The blood of all Jarkes Creatures, be it animal, man or plant seeps back into the ground after death, absorbed by the roots of Magical trees and stored there, giving some of its trees a irony smell and a red interior.

Blood Spirit

At the Day of The Blood Moon, a time where the Third Moon of the World is locked in position over the region of Jarkes, filling out the sky with red.

And once the Moon covers the sky a being appears, Elk or Deer like. With white fur and red eyes and Antlers, Blood running across the body in waves.

They traverse the Snow covered Region and absorb the blood collected by the Blood Trees by piercing them with their Antlers.

They Store The Blood by magically levitating it as a Sphere in the  Center of their antlers.

The Guiding

the All Knowing Spirit accompanies the Event of The Truth Sight,

The Elder Speakers and some Garmenof Jarkes shortly before death will see a being with the normal body of a Moose, only difference is that the Head is nothing but a skull and the Andlers are a weird black goo like Oil, upon seeing it the Elder Speakers and Garmen will encounter a vision that shows them the Full Truth of the World, the night after then they die. The Spitit will appear next to the Deceased ones Pyre, leading the Soul away.

Both are connected Though,

Once the Blood Spirits Collect the Blood they all Gather at the Place of Decease,a magically hidden region north east of the Morn Lake. Also known as the Glass Barks. 

The magic sealing of the place creates a maze of Frozen Willows and every dead creatures soul of Jarkes resides there, having been lead there by the Guiding Spirit, protecting it.

There, sealed away from prying eyes the Blood Spirits deposit the blood into a hollowed out tree, in this Hollowed out tree Jarkes is being reformed by their loyal creations, if knowingly or not.

The Magic of Jarkes

The Magic in Jarkes works by how the entity lived, by giving and taking equally

A wish uttered, a thought thought or just existing makes Jarkes react.

for example,

If you are close to death but desperately want to survive, you will lose something important and you may survive.

This influenced how The People hunt and live alongside Jarkes. As Greedyness is Punished by the land itself.

Lore of Jarkes

The Region of Jarkes was for the longest time of the Eryntell Continent nothing but a Mountain Range, forming a similar build as the southern Tricorn Peaks.

With the arrival of the Divine Entities, and their meddling in the Way the World was shaped the region changed drastically.

None of the deities truly took interest in the Northern regions as it was practically impossible for life to exist there without heavy intervention.

One Entity, Jark, took a leap of faith and Tremendously shaped the region in their own image without any other Influence. While some took their duty too literally, reshaping entire landmasses, changing how nature grows or creating Places of their Worship across the Globe, Jark hyperfocused on fineproofing their little Corner.

So after Millennia of slow Terraforming, the region changed and the old central mountains disappeared, creating a pit surrounded by the now named Cauldron Chain

In the region Jark took it upon themselves to aid the evolution of new wandering creatures, making them stronger or resilient as well as teaching the People moving there to live in harmony and importantly survive the harshness, it quickly became a majority Nomadic people, with some settlements already being shaped.

Unlike most others, Jark did not mind the people to have self determination and encouraged it as long as they follow their teachings

Their Kind entering the war against mortals Jark was forced to act.

Some people loyal to the god and beasts under their control left the Cold, and entered war.

At the end of the Slaying, Jark kept themselves alive long enough not to die instantly at the Centre of the World's Wound like all others, but rather crawled back to their Love, their Life, Their passion project. To die surrounded by what they made

This changed the region forever, all other regions had no direct divine intervention since the beginning of the Slaying.

This Marks Jarkes as the most magically direct Land in theory.

The death of Jark splintered all their magic into the Region making the entirety of Jarkes into a Magically influenced zone, the Animals took on magical abilities and practices, became smarter, the people became stronger and more connected to the land and Beasts.
