Homebrew Xorvlogoth Species Details

"Deign do I to walk amongst the wastes of the world, alongside death do I wander through day and night. 

Dare do I, a vagabond such as myself. To walk on the forgotten plains of this lonely world, 

to stare up into the eyes of those who stare down upon me. 

As do I wander, myself. Hardened by war, shaped by my long and solemn trek across the landscapes of this earth.

As do I wander, alone yet content. For solitude can be a blessing in of itself,  and in long days of silence and wandering. The most beautiful of songs can be born."

— Krydos Sö the War Screamer, Traditional Xorvlogoth poem

 

The Xorvlogoth are a race of nomads and wanderers. Hardened by the harsh environments they chose to inhabit among the deserts and wastelands of the world, the Xorlvogoth are revered as fierce warriors and talented survivalists. Able to stay alive even in the harshest of environments and on the most brutal of battlefields. 

Wanderers of the earth. 

The Xorvlogoth are on the fringes of what you could call a humanoid race, standing an average of six feet and ten inches in height, with an average weight of two hundred pounds, they are an intimidating species to behold. In place of skin they have a tough exoskeleton that provides natural armor. Their exoskeleton ranges in color from dark purples and reds to black. And in some rare cases is a vibrant silver or white, in place of conventional legs, long double-jointed legs with multi-toed hooves well suited for traversing deserts and wastes support them. Xorvlogoth have four-fingered hands, two thumbs and two fingers, and their faces are covered in overlapping plates. Xorlvogoth, while having conventional eyes, Also have the ability to open up their face completely and utilize a very limited form of echolocation while sacrificing the ability to speak, and see. 

Xorvlogoth, family comes first.

 

The Xorlvogoth are loosely knit as a people, while ancient history suggests they may have at one point had a king, known as a War King. They now wander the wastes of the planet as a shadow of their former selves. Xorlvogoth hold a strong loyalty to family, the worst that can happen to a Xorvlogoth is the murder of his or her own kin. While families often wander in groups of two or three, forming close knit communities. It is not uncommon to see large caravans of Xorlvlogoth, with families joining and leaving intermittently.
