How... odd. What an unpleasant way to die, what sort of spirit goes around snatching the life out of people instead of letting them die in a normal fashion? No spirit comes to us to carry us away or sever our ties to our bodies, and I think it is for the better that they do not. It is more like a pull, than a call, though there is a sense that someone is calling for you. Wether you follow it or not is entirely up to you, of course, but most people do not want to become unhoused spirits wandering about. So I'd imagine most follow it.

They can look however they please, though they usualy take a form that either resembles one of my own people or something that represents their function in the world. Those that serve in Mandos are often veiled or masked. Insubstantial, in a way, or thin wraith-like things not much different than the souls under their care. They rarely have faces at all, though, I suppose they don't really need them when they mostly just deal with those already passed.
