WightsA Wight is a 'being' of any kind. Wights can be natural, supernatural or divine.Natural wights are wights you can see directly such as natural living beings. Supernatural wights are not directly visible to the physical senses, but still have an impact on happenings in the world. Hence knowing about supernatural wights and their activities and how to interact with them fruitfully is important. Supernatural wights are not the same as divine wights, which are beings defined by their conformity to an abstract ideal. There can be lots of supernatural wights which are similar to each other, but perhaps working in a different place. In contrast there is typically just one kind of divine wight of any specific character. However generally when we talk about wights we are talking about supernatural beings which are not divine. There are many different ways of categorizing wights and the following are just some examples. Wights : Recent writingsEttin - An Ettin is an 'Eater' - a wight that eats away at other wights damaging their health, disabling them and potentially killing them.Gigant - A Gigant is a wight which is enormously larger than a human being. A Gigant often acts without taking any notice of individual humans, any more than most of us worry about the ants under our feet when we walk across the grass. |
