 A haunting Mote has the form of an incorporeal ball of darkness that hovers near the ground but is rarely seen due to their skill at hiding and desire to avoid being seen. They will typically choose a valuable object and try to protect it, preferably by keeping it hidden. While the objects are valuable to them, they have their own values and their choice may not match any external opinion of value... If their chosen object is claimed they will usually try to persuade its owner to abandon the object, often causing rumours of hauntings as they will usually remain undetected...

Haunting Motes are incorporeal.
Haunting Motes have one at-will spell-like ability from each school on the second level wizard list. Usually:

Summon Swarm
Detect Thoughts
Hideous Laughter

Some of those who die while in service of Wheel's Pantheon become a shadow of their former selves in the plane of shadows. They usually appear as amorphous clouds of darkness but can assume a form resembling their former selves or those they are meeting, though they can never assume details or colours, just featureless shapes. These beings usually serve the agenda of the same god they served in life, in the case of followers of Wheel they will seek out and assist unique entities, both living and otherwise, and attempt to bring them to the plane of shadow. If the are destroyed their essence returns to the plane of shadow, where they will usually reform slowly.

Spoiler: Dweller in Darkness: (click to show/hide)

Dwellers in Darkness start as a medium-sized 6 legged lizard that immaterially travels through the ground seeking out dark places in which to make their homes. Once they find a home they will protect it for as long as they are able, attacking anything that attacks them or damages their home, they will also attack lightsources using their extraordinary ability to destroy them and regard carrying a lightsource to their home as an attack. Resting in their home they will quickly attain maturity and lose their ability to completely pass through solid objects, becoming merely incorporeal, but gain the ability to reproduce.

Every year spent resting in darkness adds one Hit Die. Destroying lightsources grants one negative level for each spell level or HD destroyed, Cantrips and mundane lightsources impose 1 effective negative level with a DC of 5, negative levels from HD have a DC of 10 + the total number of HD possessed by the creature destroyed.
Reproduce at will by losing two HD and creating an immature DiD with only one HD. Immature DiD are completely immaterial, able to travel through solid objects seeking a dwelling place, medium sized, cannot reproduce, gain HD more rapidly than mature versions, and attain maturity upon gaining their 7th HD

Beneath the eternally rotating Wheel the shadows became thick and heavy, and began knotting into forms and shapes. Then it spread, sweeping across the entirety of the Planet's shadow, the forms began to take on natures, some gaining an afinity for objects, some an affinity for places, and some formed from the shadows of those that dwelt in the world beyond. And there the shadows grew longer, and darker, and many of the shadowy forms spread from their home to the world they had once reflected. Unaccustomed to their new surroundings they sought refuge in the darkness, remaining hidden. Then in its slow rotation Wheel spread its will once more into the material world and made a deep and mysterious maze of caves beneath the Barrier Range, some passages emerged within, and some emerged without, but far more wound about each other and feinted in all directions, so that one could journey for many lifetimes and never find a route past the range above. Into these passages a great horde of the shadow-forms were sent to dwell, to remain through the ages and guard the passages...

Descending from the chaos of the world came order. The ultimate force of it. Chaos wrapped arounds, and patterns started appearing. Within minutes, the spectral gauntlet that is Asakoth came into being. He descended on the material plane. He knew all was loss in the good of the plane. Hatred was inbred, revenge was seldom not done. He could not start here. No, he would start with a new plane.

In the depths of his home Asari stirred.
Much was happening on the surface, new planes were being formed, new creatures were appearing.
He sensed a maze similar to his own being crafted.
Turning his attention back to the creatures his followers had recovered.
He watched them lost and trapped in his realm their escape blocked by carvers and cave scribbles.
He would make them suffer, till nothing remained of each but a shell of their former selves and then he would le them leave.
He would let them wander the world again so all those creatures on the surface could witness a fate worth fearing.

Synk saw how the others had let the material plane fall into utter chaos. It sickened him. He had waited for a long time, planning what to do, but with the world in its current shape...

Synk then turned to the new land that had been made by Asakoth. This land was a new beginning, and held more potental than the material plane currently held. Synk decided that, despite his better judgement, he must work with the creator of this new plane to prevent it from falling to the last plane's fate.

Synk, to Asakoth
"Asakoth, god of order, I have a proposition for you. I may be a god of "Evil" by some standards but let none forget I am also a god of "Law". I wish to help you maintain this new world of your's. Accept this offer and I will work with you to uphold the power of law, by any means. Decline, and I will watch as you alone try to defend your realm from the outside influences of chaos. Make your choice."

Synk then turned to his plane. It remained empty. Synk conjured up a large amount of energy and shaped it into a form he was rather familiar with. It was a human form. The creatures had no mouths or noses, and their eyes were a dark red and nothing more. The looked around at the world they were in. It cinatined nothing other than them yet, but they knew it was just a matter of time before other things would inhabit this place. Synk looked down on his children, he will call them Zyns. Synk then began to ponder upon his next move, and awaited the response of Asakoth.

The jester gave the scribbles reason. One of the only things that gods could claim to have to themselves and he gave it away. This of course risked ending the war that had been so much fun lately. "Alright" Wedstryd muttered to himself, "this not-so-everlasting-anymore spiral of chaos can still be salvaged."
The jesters bad move could be made into a good (for Wedstryd at least) thing and could gain him at least a little favor with that war god.
The scribbles Burelly's and other critters felt a new sensation come over them. the need to consume, the will to live. something new to fight over. food. if there ever came a time where the intelligence of the creatures became as complex as the gods (And Wedstryd certainly hoped it wouldn't!) this will would be called basic survival.

Wayock sat upon his mesa, animals surrounding him. They moved in close and sniffed the space he was in, albeit they could not see him, but they could sense the immense power and wisdom he encompassed. Albeit the creatures developed sentience they had no ideas of their own, they could not learn, they could not advance. They could fight with each other for food and space, yet they could not battle. They could not war. He needed something more. He created the Yui, they were humanoid in shape, tall but thin, skinny, very skinny. They could blend with the shadows and nature, yet their muscles were developed enough to support weights much, much more than what they would seem. They were strong and quick, agile but stealthy. Perhaps the perfect warriors. They were intelligent yet they were... Imperfect. They were weak to physical harm and there were few, at least in comparison to other races.

Soon they spread on that small mesa, hunting the animals for food they created crude shelters of lean-to's and temporary shelters. They lived a small life, sometimes a few couples left the mesa on the small trails, into the world before. They spread, yet when they encountered the imps and the squibbles, the diggles. They were decimated, they knew nothing of battle. Yet Wayock could not let this come to pass, the greatest of the Yui was named Yatui, he was intelligent and the perfect receptacle for Wayocks knowledge. Within him Wayock instilled the knowledge of battle, to fight others and to adapt.

In the forest there was a stick that had fallen from a tree. To most observers it was unremarkable but it was masked from remote observation, and if investigated it would seem dangerous to touch. A Burelly approached the stick, looking for a spot at which to prepare an ambush for Scribbles. When it became clear to anyone observing this unremarkable stick that there was a risk of the Burelly stepping on the stick the Burelly suddenly experienced a strange sensation. It was unsure of what the sensation was, or what prompted it, but the Burelly was compelled to flee with all of its ability. It was unsure what to flee from until a great orb of darkness suddenly appeared in front of it, which seemed like a rather good thing to flee from .And so the stick would be safe for the time being...

[NUKE9.13]

A scribble was scribbling around in the banks of a large river. The decimated remains of a burelly lay in the mud over which it was scribbling. The scribbles 'mind', such as it was, was a simple thing. It yearned to complete vague goals it set for itself- ambition. It's goals were to kill burellys. It felt quite strongly about them. But further, nothing. Temporary goals to achieve the main goal, like surviving, wandering, morphing into a fighter, they were there, but all in the service of hatred.
But then the scribble stopped, for something new and interesting had happened. From nothing came not flashes of colour that made up the pseudo-messages that scribbles used, but the idea, the result, the underlying meaning of those messages, yet more clearly than ever.
The scribble was, of course, baffled. It did not do speech. It barely did thought. This was an entirely new sensation. The message was;
Hate++ Burelly Danger++ Fight Always++ Danger++ Create Morph Different Good++ Make Irrational Good++ Communicate Message Good++
The scribble was fascinated by the message. It's goals were changed completely, instantly. But then a second message came. Or not a message, but a creature made of message. Perhaps. The message flowed into the scribble and merged with it, and the scribble thought more than ever before, if it had ever truly thought before. The meanings it needed it did not have, but it made them up on the spot.

Answer (new word) Self = Self AnswerQuestion Self Self Communicate [I = I because I think]
The scribble mutated wildly. These things were new, different. It spent a few minutes or hours or days sitting still whilst in its mind the issues raged. Eventually it decided to find another scribble to see if it was it or if it was different.
It met another scribble and with a complex series of flashes had this conversation [Mouse over if you can't translate]:

Teach Thought, sentience. (1 AP)
I meant for this to have to happen before sentience was unleashed. Seeing as people assumed creating the concept is introducing it, ok, fine, consider this action to have happened directly after my last post where the concept was created.
Also do not feel that you should adhere to ScribbleSpeech at all. It is an inter-scribble thing. Within a short space of time it will have evolved into a much more sensible language. And gods/heralds can talk to them normally and receive normal replies because of Divine Powers.
Anyway.

Jester, to all
"Yes, little scribbles, philosophise, spread the word of sentience. I'll be down with some commandments soon.
Or something.

Hey, other gods! Why the long faces? Hey, sentience, right, right.

Thou is indeed evil and to be noted of it. However, one who wants to keep order in universe has a just cause. I accept thy deal.

Together they protect against the Burelly menace and think about the questions of life. Scribbles having no metabolism to support protection and philosophy are the only things that it is required to provide. TrueScribbles, incidentally, do not become fanatical fighting machines when faced with combat (unlike regular scribbles), but think about and choose, based on 'logical' thought what to do.
TrueScribbles gather in small groups to 'discuss' issues. They don't build structures or anything, though, so the only sign of ScribbleNation is grouping behaviour in scribbles and simple tactics versus Burellies (Simple. Nothing wayock infringing)

[The Willow Wisp]

With his offer of an alliance accepted, Synk decided to create a new race to uphold all that was lawful. He conjured up energies that were structured in a rigid, and almost abrasive, way. These energies formed into phantasmal, vaguely humanoid, figures that had blank white eyes. These cretures were, at the moment, motionless. They had yet to be given a purpose.

Synk taught them all the laws of all realities. He gave them a unique gift to gain the knowledge of any new laws that would arise, as those laws were created. He told them to be defenders of all laws when they applied, and told them that they were to serve under him and Asakoth. Synk decided to call them Archons.

Synk, to Asakoth
"I have created a race to defend both my plane and yours. You are entitled to use them how you see fit. View this as a gift to prove my devotion to our cause."
