The SOUL is the culmination of one's being, including both [[humans]] and [[yarov]]. It appears as a physical object upon the death of a human or [[boss yaref]], and is never seen on its own for a standard yaref. It is often symbolically represented with a heart symbol (❤️ - pointing up for yarov and down for humans). SOULs have various measurable properties, including functioning as a quantifiable measure of power that was taken advantage of by [[P. S. Gelin]].

== System ==
SOULs are relevant to [[yahir]]. A standard yaref is equivalent to its SOUL (which disappears upon death), while a human SOUL exists somewhat independently, and persists for a time after death due to [[determination]]. Boss yaref SOULs are white, while human SOULs appear in various colors.

The creation of certain kinds of structures is tied to SOUL power, such as [[Barrier|barriers]]. The barrier around [[Ebott Underground|the Ebott Underground]] was created with the power of seven human SOULs, and would require an attack by a being of similar power to destroy. A monster SOUL is between 10 and 95,000 times weaker than a human SOUL, depending on what metric is used.

A deceased human's SOUL can be absorbed by a yaref or soulless being, and a yaref can be absorbed by a human or a soulless being, although for most beings this requires a boss yaref's SOUL as absorbing a living yaref takes an absurd amount of power. A being with both kinds of SOULs is called an unsef, and is extremely powerful. Unsov include [[Ondeli]]-[[Khara]] and [[Etevni]]-[[Aratikent]].

== Generation ==
Sufficiently complex emergent consciousnesses develop SOULs. As of 913, this includes humans and some intelligent [[automata]]. A [[yaref]] also functions as a SOUL. [[Determination]] can, however, re-establish consciousness without a SOUL. Yaref souls are significantly weaker than human SOULs
