The Little Washer At The Ford, The Bean Nigh attaches itself to a particular family, appearing and wailing and washing bloody garments in nearby running water whenever a family member is about to die. The Bean Nigh can NEVER be purposely called or interrogated when it appears, though the Ghost of a Families female ancestor can be bound to the task of BEING a Bean Nigh by Necromantic spell-craft and conjuring, and the nature of the clothing being washed can sometimes give clues to the identity of the doomed kinsman. Treat the Prophetic wailing as a Portent (c.f.)

Powers:

Portent, Oracle (Death).

A Fetch manifests from the Seiryö of a living person, though in cases where a Fetch spontaneously manifests, the Casting of the Phantasm and the transformation from Seiryö to Fetch are often virtually simultaneous, indeed, the impulse prompting the casting is generally thought to be the precognizant premonition of death itself. Attributes marked as "#" are identical to the attributes of the person whose appearance and Seiryö from whom the Fetch is derived. A Fetch does not interact with the world in any way unless constrained by its summoner to act as a Ritual Link, in which case the target of the Ritual will often see the distraught Fetch as if in a vision. Follow all Portent guidelines for the appearance of a Fetch.

Totemic Ancestor Spirits, Sorei are the ancient ancestors, their spirits ascended and merged into a single tutelary entity that watches over the fortunes of their living clans. The Sorei are a specifically Japanese manifestation of this concept, selected as the Type due to the specific descriptions in Japanese ghost lore, but most mystic ancestor-reverencing cultures have a similar, if less precise, concept of the "Revered Ancestors". Shamans of such "Totems" don't receive Totemic Bonus' of any sort, though Shamanic Adepts of the totems DO exist, but are limited to the Family Land using the Mechanics of Plant Totem Shamans. Ancestor Totems DO allow the conjuring of Oracular Spirits of the Ancients for consultation, in addition to normal nature spirit conjury.
