The Ada (meaning spirit)[1][UOL 1] are a type of deity. Most known Ada were demi-deities, derived of pairings of mortals and the Et'Ada, the original spirits. It is said that the Ada are able to change things through love,[2] with an example of this ability coming in the form of the Ada Morihaus creating a new race in the Minotaur from his union with Alessia.[3] Ada are said to be ambitious beings that can never know death.[4][5]
