Vestiges

The Vestiges, Powers That Be, Dark Powers, Whispering Ones. All names for the same strange dark entities that seek to manipulate and twist the world to their interests. Vestiges come to being when powerful entities attempt to cross the void to enter the Realm of Balance despite the laws of reality that prevent it. The process destroys their form but, if powerful enough beings, allow them to maintain an echo of their former existence. While too weak to manifest themselves they may seek out individuals and slowly use whispers of their power to corrupt and seduce the figure turning them into a champion that can feed their strength and restore them to their power. 
Vestiges can be trapped in amber binding their entire essence within the prison and preventing them from contacting champions unless the amber is damaged or physically touched. Vestiges are however highly manipulative and are often able to seduce champions to their will without great difficulty though each unsuccessful attempt leaves them weaker and more desperate. 
Vestiges when fed and restored may take their physical form, as was seen with Vampyr after centuries in Barovia under his champion Count Strahd Von Zarovich's feeding, which can be summoned into a space. This form can however be destroyed fully destroying the vestige such as that nothing remains and they can no longer threaten the realms.
