-A faithful of Pharasma adventurer who has died
-Offered a chance by Pharasma to live again provided they help her cause
-Each wears a lantern brooch that gives them a false life but only lasts for a certain amount of time, when time runs out they 'fade' away and lose their physical form
-While not on a mission they will reside on a "ghost ship" that acts as their transport to the different adventures and base of operations. Also where their brooches get recharged

Disruption:
-A location or event that interferes with the flow of souls from the physical world to the afterlife
-An upswing or increase in undead or negative energies
-A sudden loss or disappearance of souls

Examples: a mysterious plague that infects a town and is believed to be the cause of increased undead in the area, sanctified graveyards with empty graves, a remote town where all the prayers to Pharasma have gone silent obscuring the region from Pharasma's gaze, etc

Soul Channeller:
Some priests of Pharasma feel a much stronger connection to both the souls of the departed and the memories that those souls leave behind. While for many this power gives them an affinity or sensitivity towards the incorporeal a select few can, with training and determination, turn this affinity into something much more.
A Soul Channel must sacrifice access to one of his/her starting domains and in exchange gains the ability to draw forth temporary manifestations of the departed.
At first level a Soul Channeller creates a bond with a manifestation of a deceased hero. Granting the ability to temporarily call upon the spirits aid in battle. A number of times per day equal to three plus his/her charisma modifier as a standard action, that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, may activate the power of any known spirit.
At fifth level and every five levels afterwards the Soul Channeller may select a new spirit to bond with in addition to any previously known.
At twelfth level the Soul Channeller may instead make use of the spirits greater power.
The DC of saves against powers gained through this archetype equal the save DC of the priest's channel energy class feature.
The ghost ship Mourning Maiden and her crew:
the Mourning Maiden is an old Taldese schooner recorded sunk over one hundred years ago with all hands after the suspicious death of a priest taking passage on her. Angered at the death of one of her favoured priests, Pharasma sentenced the crew to more than just a water demise. The captain and crew were cursed to ply the waterways collecting and ferrying the souls of the departed to her realm in service to Pharasma until she deemed their debt paid.
