Such an occurrence is often mistaken as a haunting, and though fuhlgeists and ghosts have much in common, the former can’t be banished by divine means. On the other hand, once a fuhlgeist has been destroyed, it doesn’t rejuvenate like a ghost does, and there’s no need to discover the tragic story behind its creation (which would be a difficult task, as a fuhlgeist’s speech patterns are often disjointed and erratic). The “emotion crystals” mined by the fey moyishuus sometimes attract fuhlgeists like candle flames attract moths. Indeed, the Veyvilla system has the highest recorded fuhlgeist sightings in the known galaxy. The moyishuu government has no clear plans on how to prevent future incursions and unfortunately tends to hush up the most grievous cases of injuries caused by these hostile outsiders.
