Tenets

Tenets are specific doctrines which Wraith carry along with their Pacts, based on their identity. In order to use the abilities from these Tenets, Whisperers must obey the rules of their doctrines.

Intents

Intents exist to track a Whisperer's motivations behind their actions, usually to ensure Whisperers can't escape obligations or false punishment for suboptimal actions.

Judge

A Wraith which deals with life and death, reaping souls when their time has come. A Whisperer of this Tenet is responsible for claiming the soul of a target designated by the Wraith.
