L
Loakiv
When you think of spirits, ghosts, or your soul, the general concept is the same for Loakivs. When the Ni'Yan body dies, or before a newborn Ni'Yan body is chosen, our information exists as a Loakiv, a (for the most part) disembodied consciousness who can freely move from the Akral Layer of Omnikia to the surface of the Ni'Yan Layer. Though a Loakiv can emerge into the Ni'Yan, it cannot interact with it unless by Tharrassa (the equivalent of magic) or by taking up a physical Ni'Yan body.
