The Academic Spirits

A collective of dead spirits:scholars, warriors, animals, even some quasi-sentient plantlife. They have generations of experiences and wisdom they'll share, for a small price:When you die, you join their number, allowing them to absorb your memories and have one more small taste of what its like to be alive.
