Possible EssencesConstant Tsunami This vial of blue green water from the ocean is constantly moving in its container, the force of the waves shaking the small vial. The roar of the surf can be heard if one grasps the vial, though one wouldn't suggest doing such a thing. Eternal Autumn Autumn is a transitional season, but this vial seems to be full of items in a hibernating state, neither alive nor dead. The vial smells of smoke and apples, the heady scent of the moment right before winter. Secret Breeze A whirling vortex is kept within the vial, the fury of nature visible. But instead of hearing the rage of the winds, you instead hear secrets. "The Lynderson's maid stole from them and is drinking their wealth", "bob in marketing wears lady's clothing", and "I'm not really sick." The secrets are seemingly random, but one begins to wonder if they'll hear something about someone they know... Apsara Considered to be similar to the nymphs of Greece and the Valkyries of Norse mythology, Apsara's entertain the gods and fallen warriors with their dances. Apsara's can change their shape at will, and rule over fortunes and gambling. They are associated with water, and the lesser Apsara's often lead men to their death's in rivers. They are of Hindu and Buddist Mythos. Valkyrie From Norse mythology, Valkyries are battle-maidens that take the souls of the great fallen warriors to Valhalla, to serve the god Odin when Ragnarok is at hand. Valkyries rode great wolves and were considered to be the carrion of the battlefield and were such attributed to Ravens. They were sometimes said to wear glittering armour, and to carry spears of light. They are figures of death and battle and warfare. Dryad From Greek mythology, dryads are tree spirits that are tied to a particular tree, namely oak trees. Some Dryads are so intertwined with the life force of a tree that if their tree dies, they do as well. Huldra Huldra, from Scandinavian folklore, is derived from a Norweigan word meaning "secret". She is a devastatingly beautiful woman, who has an animal tail, usually a fox or a cow tail. She is associated with Odin's wild hunt, and is considered good luck in hunts. These are just my ideas for the moment; Ideas may change frequently!

Okay! To start, I think some of your soul ideas are pretty cool - particularly the apsara because I have a thing for Hindu mythology. :'D But you might double-check on the Valkyrie soul since Tariel has the soul of a "warrior angel" and... that get a little close, especially since Kalindara interpreted them as the same thing. '_'a I might be overthinking things here though.
Fel essences, on the other hand, need a little work. The Constant Tsunami is pretty much Zavier's Eye of Storm fel essence, just with a different name... and there's already several Raevans who have an essence that involves storms or the weather (Zavier, Jasper, Sa'ida and Dayo too). And all of your ideas involve the weather in one way or another... o_o; Not saying you should scrap them just because of that, but it's worth keeping in mind.
I don't get Eternal Autumn. o_O; I mean, I get the idea you're trying to get across, but it doesn't feel like something that would work... Kinda goes with the problem of how dull and repetitive it would get if you could stick abstract ideas in a vial. You're trying to fit an entire season in a vial, and among other things I have to wonder what the Raevan would eat when it's not autumn; the poor thing could starve to death. XD; Maybe stick with one element of the season you like instead of the whole package? Right now it feels a bit too broad and abstract to qualify.
Secret Breeze... umm... sounds like a kind of fabric softener? |D Again, nifty idea, but I dunno how applicable it is just thinking about how it would translate into a Raevan. It kinda gives me a headache trying to figure out how a Raevan that's 'secret'-elemented could be roleplayed. Keeping in mind that your fel essence isn't going to be a fel essence forever might be a good idea, along with thinking of what features and abilities you'd want your Raevan to have and working backwards from there to come up with ones that would be more workable.
And of course, check out journals and other quest threads to get a better feel of things. XD
I hope that helps a bit. 8D;
