Alp

When a creature has a great desire, something that they can not acheive on their own, that wracks their brains and causes them despair, the Mire Mother, if she is watching, may talk to the creature in a dream, and grant them a solution.

When the creature accepts, the Mire Mother will solve their problems through way of powerful magics or psionics, but in doing so, they are tainted by the Mire Mothers being, although they gain the ability to disguise themselves, their bodies are tainted by abberation, and they become servants to the Mire Mother.

Dread Angels of Desire. The Mire Mother has good intensions, she wishes to create a world with no problems, were despair does not exist, and everyones desires can be answered. It is due to this that she grants the Alp their wishes. But she is selfish, she longs for her own happiness, having tread in despair so long, and it it due to this that she is not complacant to simply answer someones wish if they do not also pact with her to help with her own goals. She does not care for the means, but only the end, and an end that is impossible.

The Mire Mother asks of her Alp three things. First, to help those that desire if they agree to join her. Second, to find ways to free her from her prison in Ravenloft. Third, to torment her enemies, and make them feel the despair that she does.

Born from a Wish. An alp is only ever created concentially. It is when a creature agree's with the Mire Mother's plans to create her world, and will accept the beings they become to solve their own problems that they will agree to become Alp.

People in abusing relationships, people who feels dysphoric and find no solutions to their problems, people from countries with evil overlords, these are the type of people that become Alp.

Each Unique To solve their specific wishes, the Mire Mother will create special magic items for each Alp that will grant them both solutions to their problems, and a way to help in the Mire Mothers own goals.
