Spirit Realm
Shamanism is focused on interaction with Ghosts, Draconic Spirits, Animal Totems, and Elementals. These beings are native to a shadowy realm overlaying the mortal realm known as the Spirit Realm. Shaman are capable of perceiving the edges of this realm as it crosses into the physical. The conscious mind provides barriers to seeing fully into this world, so many shaman use drugs or deep meditation to free their conscious mind and perceive the Spirit World.
History
Geography
The geography of the Spirit Realm generally consists of self-contained pockets of spiritual significance, the space within stretched so that numerous beings of spiritual power may congregate and make their homes. Between these pockets are swathes of spiritually empty space folded tightly atop themselves to make room. As such, locations within the spirit realm do not necessarily correlate with those in the physical realm. It is possible to entirely skip over places in the physical realm when travelling through the Spirit Realm if the physical location lacks spiritual significance.
