Wraith - The Oblivion

Wraiths share the fate of vampires to the effect of being doomed to lead their painful after-lives eternally. However, unlike vampires wraiths rarely interact with the world of the living actively, but rather vegatate in their own World of Darkness. Although they are able to visit the world of the living - The Shadowlands - from time to time they usually can not interact with it physically, but have to express themselves to the living in feelings and dreams. Their Chains of being tied somehow to the world of the living is actually what originally prevented them from fading directly into Oblivion after they once died: they left unfinished things behind, which prevents them from resting peacefully.

While visits paid to the Shadowlands usually stir up long forgotten memories only, the real dangers for wraiths lie in the Underworld, the endless domain of existence where all the other undead souls dwell. Apart from being enslaved or being forged into Stygian metal, Oblivion itself poses a threat, for instance in form of tempests. However, many Restless believe that there are sacred lands beyond the seas of nightmare, called The Far Shores. Until the present day, nobody returned from this mysterious realm, so it is difficult to say whether or not it is really as close to Transcendence as it is promised to be.
