Lampad

Divine servants that inhabit unspoiled corners of the world, nymphs protect places of natural power and infuse their surroundings with the magic of Nyx. Some are benevolent and aid those who live off the land, while others embody violent aspects of Nature. In either case, nymphs generally avoid other sapient creatures, preferring to mind the cycles of Nature, the daily interplay of wild animals, or other cosmic forces. Occasionally, though, groups of the same kind of nymphs congregate in a place of natural power or beauty. In times of Special need, deities tied to facets of Nature might employ nymphs as messengers, guardians, or scouts.
Lampads guard the shadowed paths of the world, depths typically trod by souls destined for The Underworld. These rarely seen nymphs assist Athreos in guiding the dead, moving among the spirits that collect along The Tartyx River and reclaiming wayward souls that try to slip back to the mortal world. This means lampads are most often spotted in graveyards, crumbling Crypts, and tunnels that bore deep into the earth, and near Portals to The Underworld.
