Wisps

The Wisps are a energy based race of beings constructed and made by the Noble Titan Hermes of whom they continue to serve to this day.

Originally, Ethereals had physical form. When the Chaos forces begin their work during the Eternity War the forces of Hermes in the Wisps were targeted and were being wiped out until Hermes came and intervened to save them using Magi energies to shield the Wisps against the attacks against them, and while this saved them it also ripped apart their bodies. Only their advanced technology allowed them to survive - barely - as beings of pure energy. Ultimately, it was this very change that allowed them to battle the forces of Chaos on an even-footing and travel through the Fade to find refuge. Their bodies can take many forms, able to be compacted into small sizes, or expanded to their true form: a mass of glowing energy with vaguely distinguishable head, eyes, and arms.

Hermes in the days following the departure of the Old Ones would found his own race he called the Wisps of whom he centered within the Mountains of Europe, and Asia and of whom he would spend a considerable period of his time uplifting and molding into his vision of themselves.
