Homebrew Distorted Leonin Species Details
The leonin guard the shining lands of Oreskos, a golden plain where even the gods rarely trespass. Prides of these nomadic, lion-like humanoids rarely interact with other peoples, having all they need in their shimmering homeland and knowing the treachery of strangers. The distorted Leonin is one that was banished from the pride either for behavior or for appearance.
