Here’s everything we learned in today’s Spiritborn deep dive.
The “that’s my spirit animal” meme just became a reality.

Akarat the Prophet
Spiritborn are versatile warriors who combine three-hit combo attacks and acrobatic moves.
They excel in hand-to-hand combat, using spirit energy and a glaive to deal close-range damage.
Their physical skills let them block or dodge attacks, absorbing or redirecting the power back at their enemies.

Akarat the Prophet
He believed humans could overcome darkness using a special light within them.
Akarat traveled across Sanctuary, spreading these beliefs.
Recognizing its need for protection, Akarat and his trusted acolyte, Ysevete, studied the Spirit Realm.

Akarat became the first living person to cross into the Spirit Realm.
While Akarat explored the Spirit Realm, his acolytes continued their studies in the jungle.
In his twilight years, Akarat explored the Spirit Realm’s uncharted territories.

Akarat the Prophet
Ysevete, also from Nahantu, established the Spiritborn based on the tenets she and Akarat created.
They believe that transferring their soul to the Spirit Realm upon death is the highest honor.
Those not yet initiated can still experience glimpses of the Spirit Realm through visions, dreams, and intuitions.
