Beings; Magic

In many paradigms, a spirit comes into being through the shared beliefs and emotions of the residents. The nature of those beliefs and emotions influences the personality and activities of the spirit. Founders and civic leaders can be especially influential.

== District of Columbia ==

DC has three spirits: Sorrow, Anger, and Ambition. This fragmentation implies much about the discordant visions and aspirations of the peoples and factions here.

== Sigil ==

Sigil is a focus on endless debate. Is the Lady of Pain the spirit of the city? If not, what is the spirit and what is its relationship to the Lady? Could the Lady prevent a spirit from existing, or at least moving freely?

-  It is wise to not underestimate a spirit in its home domain. The spirit's relationship to their domain is often very powerful and difficult to disentangle. In at least some paradigms, the spirit exists because of the domain, so as long as the domain exists, the spirit may be essentially immortal. The spirit often also has extraordinary awareness of the past and present of their domain, down to the smallest details. They may even have awareness of the future, or perhaps the most likely of possible futures.

In at least some paradigms, the spirit exists because of the domain. Thus, as long as the domain exists, the spirit may be essentially immortal. Furthermore, the spirit often has extraordinary knowledge and awareness of the past and present of their domain, down to the smallest details. They may even have awareness of the future, or perhaps the most likely of possible futures. Convincing a spirit to share this knowing is another matter, of course.
   All of this is true for the least of spirits to the greatest, from a dryad and their tree to a city spirit and their metropolis. Some see this as a special case of the Law of Harmony: likeness is sameness. Even a god may not be assured of success when trying to act against the wishes or values of a spirit, while that spirit is at home.

	According to many paradigms, a city spirit comes into being through the shared beliefs and emotions of the residents. The nature of those beliefs and emotions influences the personality and activities of the spirit. Founders and civic leaders can be especially influential. Notorious individuals and groups can also be highly influential. For example, Los Angeles is influenced by Hollywood, Detroit by the auto industry, and Chicago by Al Capone and his Chicago Outfit.
