Familiars — The Bound Spirits of the House

Not all spirits remain separate from those who find them.

Some choose to stay.

Familiars are spirits that form a quiet bond — not to a place, but to a presence. They are drawn not just to the House, but to those who move within it, lingering close as if guided by something deeper than memory.

They do not wander without reason.

They follow.


What They Are

Familiars are spirits shaped by connection rather than environment.

Unlike other spirits of the House, they are not defined by where they are found, but by what they choose to remain near. Their presence feels more intentional — more personal — as if they are attuned to something beyond the House itself.

Behaviour

Familiars stay close.

They appear beside, behind, or just within view — never intrusive, but always nearby. They move gently, often mirroring the stillness or movement of the space around them.

Personality

Quiet, attentive, and deeply present, Familiars carry a sense of calm companionship.

They are neither watchful like Sentinels nor curious like Catlings — instead, they feel connected. There is a softness to their presence, as though they are there not to observe, but to accompany.

Role in the House

Familiars form bonds.

They are the only spirits that seem to choose — not a room, not a path, but a presence. Where they appear, the House feels more personal, more alive, as if it is responding in kind.

Where They Are Found

Familiars are not bound to specific rooms, but they are often found where presence feels strongest.

They are most often encountered in:

→ Quiet corners of the House
→ Rooms where time seems to slow
→ Spaces where one lingers longer than expected

They do not belong to the House alone — they belong to something more.
