Homebrew Vezyi Race Details

Due to their connection with the powers of death and undeath, the Vezyi are difficult to slay and easy to bring back to life. They age slowly, rarely eat, and only ever consume beverages and foods that bring them pleasure due to their infrequent eating. They serve Vecna's priests, who in return grant them free resurrections 9 times, which are called "pardons". A Vezyi who has used all their pardons are called Teniths, and they often leave their homes to become adventurers. Those who are accidentally revived a tenth time by the priests of Vecna, known as Iremongers, are known as the Vulek, and they are driven from their homes, chased by those trying to kill them.
