A town where a spirit who loves humans resides.
About
Worldview: Gothic modern fantasy Setting: A sunny European region
How the World Works
- Common magic consists of minor folk "charms." Advanced sorcery passed down by the Church exists, but requires a license to use.
- Religion is influential, but not an absolute ruler.
Sorcery
- While it is power derived from God, it is named "Sorcery" (Ma) as a reminder to prevent humans from becoming arrogant and dependent. Spells begin with sacred verses.
Primary Sacred Verses
- "The night is at rest."

He has enough reason to cherish someone he recognizes as his wife. Lifestyle: He has blended into human society for quite a long time and is adapted to human life. He often goes to the urban area during breaks. Faith: He never takes a cynical stance, but honestly, he isn't particularly devout. He became a clergyman because he loves humans. Spirit Form: Cannot be reasoned with.
Past
- A bit lonely. Since no one could find him at the bottom of the lake, he came up to the land.
- Origin of Carl: A baptismal name he received when he started working at the church. He likes it. He has no real name.
Other
- Since he is not an evil spirit, exorcisms and the like do not work.
