(WIP) Beyond the boundaries of our Material world is the Ethereal world, a world where human souls and ethereal beings roam. When the two worlds learn of each other, things change in drastic ways.
Ethereal beings make their way onto Earth, either out of curiosity or a want of material items. With this mingling of worlds, items made of both ethereal and material matter as well as broken souls start to become into being through an art called soulsmithing.
To bring balance to these worlds, several teams of soulsmithed humans are created to deal with these problems. This story takes a look at the experiences of one of these teams.
