Whisperers are the weakest and most common form of akathartos.
Overview[]
Unlike the common view of demons as powerful corruptive forces, Whisperers are only capable of manifesting in much more innocuous forms — a voice, minor coincidences, dreams, discarded writings, and the like. These beings are not capable of direct manipulation so much as nudges and suggestions.
Should a Whisperer manage to gain more power, a goal they all share, then it will acquire a greater foothold in the world. This power is usually acquired via some form of moral violation by a target. These moral violations generally require choice (an evil that was truly necessary is not sufficient), extremity (i.e. a Morality ≤ 5 violation), some harm to a victim, malice, and/or a lack of remorse.
It is worth noting that more powerful akathartoi never lose the subtler capabilities of a Whisperer and are capable of returning to that form for their own purposes.
