@Double Capybara different from but inspired by the fairies, you can look at their sheet
edit: we spoke about this briefly over discord, but I didn't want to step on your toes by actively developing the fairies in this direction - I'll leave it to you to do that. For the moment, the Fae are a distinct and separate, though doubtlessly in some ways similar, species.
You got me wrong haha, not complaining about that, as it would be odd after I gave you the green light to go on. Its just that the species of the Sprites and Draca is called in general Fae too, so the wording became comedic.
AND ALSO CREATED THE FAE

The many acts of villainy against the sanctity of souls had not gone by unnoticed to the goddess of souls. While looking at the pleasant fields of her holy site, she could not stop but to think about the offenders. The God of Twisted Views seemed to be bound to be dealt with, what worried her were a few less stubborn others. With Death, she thought diplomacy could help, but the very act of talking with The Challenger would be a disservice to her cause, it would make it into an issue, which meant the god would target her.
Still, she had matters to deal with first. Many sprites had flocked to her field, reminding her she needed to continue working on new bodies for the free souls.
Sprites were neutral creatures, merely mimicking the world around them, as such, the ones in the swamps south of the Door were very different from the ones in the forest, their skin was slick and of strong green or brown, their wings were long, and their antenna was bulbous, rarely ever spotting a horn. Kap Gam gathered them, and a few select ones were blessed, gaining limbs to manipulate reality and gaining more advanced shapes. These would be the Dracs, and they would inhabit the oceans, lakes, and rivers. On her sanctuary, they would keep the gentle flow of waters within the land, watering the pleasant plants.
With that done, Kap Gam was about to return to her holy field, but instead, she decided to continue, past the mountains and fields, until she reached the borders of the Plains of Madness. She approached a Crystal Root, and made it so its wood gave away. Collecting the crystals, both pure and Ley infused, she then left to a nearby mountain.
She held the crystal near her face, observing it, comparing it, feeling the Ley inside it, and the resonance of the tormented and deranged souls. She closed her eyes, and sighed. There was not much hope for these, but one day there would be hope for others.
The Challenger too, shall be challenged." she thought, before giving up on her attempt to cleanse the crystal of its corruption by sheer force. She would keep one, the design was simple and primordial, not a lot of samples were necessary. The others, she threw to the ground and right after freed her whip from her belt.
The whip once again came to life, its many thongs moving about. "Awake, Hydra." with that whisper, fourteen eyes opened, shining in seven colors, all surrounded by scales of a single tone of silver. It ravenously lunged forward at the crystals, shattering them and swallowing them whole, devouring the souls and savoring the hint of ichor reminiscent in the god's creation. It was a very diluted taste, but it was still the taste of heaven.
The weapon eyed the last crystal that remained, the one Kap Gam planned to store, but the goddess's grip was strong, and with a single move, the whip was once again at rest.

Kap Gam rested on the shadow of a tree within the fortress while she recovered from the burdensome tasks of the first day of this world. She heard more siblings talk, she was impressed even the very one who was the first to raise a hand against Larwen was now talking about compromise, seems like the god of twisted views did not make his message and stubbornness clear enough. Kap Gam felt like once again warning them, but so be it, disaster breeds discipline, they will learn.
She continued to rest, until she noticed almost all gods had left, and the fortress was now inhabited by odd hazy creatures. She would have grunted if that was not a waste of movement, she was nowhere nearly rested enough, but it seemed the approach of the Door was turning increasingly unwelcoming.
With a single movement, a single hair-like thread. It had been a while since she had to create such a relic. She focused, and snapped the thread in two, a small, almost imperceptible sound, resulting from such an action. In seconds, it quietly echoed all the world, telling hear each and every single thing it touched, telling her tales of isles of fire and isles of sound, of continents and of divine constructs. One thing, above all, stuck out with her.
"It has no center?" she thought aloud, a very rare action for her, but the disappointment was just that loud. She would think the door was the center of the planet, a perfect point for the Leylines to focus, but it was not, it did not align with its poles and the telluric flow was just all wrong. That was bad. A temple to harmonize the Ley needed a perfect balance of all elements, that was unattainable under the ocean.
The goddess placed a hand on her temple and frowned, thinking over the possibilities. Mater Lei had made her work much harder, she could make a run for it and do what she wanted while leaving the consequences for the gods of this world to deal with, however, this was not her way to act.
She looked at the map again, pinpointing its center, and then drawing circles around it, the smallest having a radius of the distance between the Door and the center of the world. She chuckled when noticing what was in each cycle, Fate was a predictable thing at times.
After setting up a few points, she went to the nearest, which was more distant from the Door than she wished, but she would do what needed to be done. Her hand touched the field near the mountain, and the whole landscape started to shift, rocks were brought upward, rivers were moved and their waters purified, unpleasant plants withered in seconds, their nutrients feeding the flowers and the groves, the Ley was arranged beneath the alpine land in very specific form.
For the finishing touch, the goddess waved her hand, and the raised stones composed of marble were carved into a simple yet beautiful temple. Kap Gam's Locus Amoenus had been formed.

You need to learn to stop worrying and love the bomb
@Double Capybara Also, for aquatic races, are we gonna say Ley is capable of surviving in saline environments or does it change to mimic an organism that fits the environment, like an encrusting sponge? Fungus doesn't do too well around sea water.
i may or may not be making Lei's first species a marine one
Alright, I could simply make it so it sprouts underwater too and take shapes that would fit with the environment, that can happen in some areas, but I think there are also interesting choices based on IRL marine fungi.
Mangroves are well known for being cradles of life, they are also known for hosting a variety of marine fungi, making for good breeding ground for sentient species. Alternatives deep in the sea could be areas with a high concentration of the fungi that inhabits sand grains or coral reefs that also host a variety of fungi.
Outside of the concept of "charged" areas, another thing that is also likely to host fungi in the sea are creatures. Maybe the species could have it living in them in a symbiotic manner, or maybe something more intense, go wild.
@Double Capybara Sounds good to me. I was thinking the fungus would grow to represent the aesthetic or values of the souls surrounding them, but it's your domain.
Ah, that is far more simple and cool.
@Amethyst
I think it would be a bit more of an effort to create sentient life without souls, so I had just assumed that the island had some. Well, anyway, it seems the issue will be fixed soon.
Ehhh, I don't like fantasy races having personality traits...
But that image is interesting. We could do that, as long as the souls born from the different colors are not necessarily bound to one single species.
It could help to make magic more interesting later on, when Kap Gam introduces it. For example, souls raised from the Ley touched by Rytia could be musically inspired, great sense of rhythm and melody, and when they cast spells, they reach better results by singing or casting it using materials that make sounds, such as horns or bells.

I kinda really like the idea of different types of giant colourful fungus representing the different souls of the various cultures. Can we make that a thing?
