 '''Great Spirits of Nature''' are sentient beings who mystically embody a part of the natural world, such as a landscape feature or living thing. Most, if not all, were brought about by the work and play of [[Elder God]]s.

-Great Spirits of Nature are typically classified into two groups: awakened spirits, which arise when the [[Elder God]]s rouse a sleeping consciousness [[Dynara]] imbued into the world; and collective spirits, sometimes called "hive souls", which coalesce to sentience as a population of the same living thing meets conditions which are vaguely understood.

+Awakened spirits arise when the [[Elder God]]s rouse a sleeping consciousness [[Dynara]] imbued into the world. The [[fae]] count as lesser awakened spirits. [[Sixth Circle]] is heavily associated with awakened spirits and there is often a deep bond between the spirit and the primary Elder involved in an awakening.

+===Titles===
 Out of reverence and to distinguish the spirit from the general noun they are spirit of, Great Spirits are often given a titular prefix: such as Sister Snake, Old Man Rock or Great Spirit Sea. Once a distinction has been established, many texts will omit the title for brevity but continue to capitalize the name.
