Banshee

A banshee is a physical reincarnation of a human who was murdered at the hands of another human. Banshees are summoned back into the realm of Dohmunderiah by Markarna shortly after reaching the domain of the Nebune. Markarna's intentions for the summoning of banshees is to allow the slain soul to seek out revenge and haunt or kill the person who originally murdered them. Due to the fact that banshees must wait a duration equal to half of their mortal lifetime in order to kill a human, most do not fulfull their purpose and are slain or killed by other means. Banshees are considered a nuisance in Dohmunderiah and are often hunted down and killed both for sport and bounties.

Banshees can only be killed by other humans through the use of tools or weaponry that were forged during the original lifetime of the soul of the banshee. Since banshees are not made of organic matter, if one is slain with a weapon not from their time of life, they will simply regenerate. Banshees are capable of killing from the moment they are summoned back into Dohmunderiah. However, for every life a banshee takes before the expiration of its incubation period, a mortal member of its past bloodline is stricken with a curse and killed. Although banshees are immortal, it is highly unlikely for them to occupy Dohmunderiah for more than a decade, with an average of only 30% making it through their incubation period. The oldest known banshee haunted the Hanarikar Lands for 853 years and belonged to the soul of a fisherman named Josarrius Charmers.

Origins
What is believed to be approximately thirty years before the creation of the calendar, a seventeen year old Hanarian woman by the name of Karrah Bansh was captured by a bandit while she was practicing archery in the Roothing Forest After being mercilessly raped, Karrah was taken to the bandits' camp in the forest, tortured, and murdered. Karrah was disgusted in the vile actions performed by the bandits, and upon reaching the entrance of the domain of the Nebune, struck a negotiation with the god of death Markarna. In her deal, Bansh was granted access back into the realm of Dohmunderiah as a seemingly metaphysical version of her previous self. Karrah Bansh hunted down and slew the entire group of bandits responsible for her murder, and in payment, Markarna placed an everlasting curse upon every future murder victim, forcing them to act as servants to Karrah Bansh; thus they came to be called banshees.

After Karrah Bansh received her revenge, she was forced to return to the Nebune where she continued to serve Markarna in overseeing the tenants of the banshees.
