Anaba spirit crafters, like the rest of their Minotaur tribe, live in a hidden part of the Koskun Mountains of Ulgrotha.[1]
Description
In contrast to regular Anaba shamans, the spirit crafters are usually males. They are known to talk with spirits, read the ashes for divination, and occasionally hold long and complicated arguments with stones and other small objects. Even though these Minotaurs are more than a little strange, they are a focus of the Tharoosan culture and its history in the Homelands.[2]
When the great earthquake destroyed the pictoglyph caverns, most of the history of the Minotaurs was lost. Though all Minotaurs make music in one form or another, the spirit crafters are responsible for memorizing the few remaining songs the Anaba know, and teaching the stories that have been passed down through the generations.[2] The spirit crafters sing of all the Anaba people. They sing of those lost, of those found, and of those who are yet to be.[3]
The spirit crafters are offerers of strange and mystic advice, and can sometimes foretell the future by listening to the ancestral spirits that frequent their dreams. In case of an impending battle, they can allow themselves to be possessed by an ancestral Minotaur champion who will lead the group to victory over any foe.[2]
