Description
Ashrays are often thought to be water ghosts but are actually powerful fey. They are rarely glimpsed but are described a translucent-white humanoids of immense beauty. They can only breath in water and are harmed by sunlight so they are only seen at night near the water. Stories depict them as both violent creatures that tear the life from victims and benevolent saviors that heal dying travelers.
