Homebrew Unbroken Species Details

Many had passed on to the afterlife, hoping they would find an eternity at peace. Instead, countless souls poured into Khundrukar due to an Oni, whose intent was to create a mindless army of the damned for his masters. Instead, brave adventurers delved into Khundrakar and put a stop to the Oni before all was lost. Now freed, the souls of those who were taken by the Oni are now free to wander the world in search of a new purpose. Many upon the mortal plane have shut out these wayward souls, seeing them as terrors that will eventually wreak havoc upon the world, as they were always intended to do. Luckily, the lost souls have found a new purpose. Under the supervision of Sergeant Grendar Kuln of Blasingdell, as well as Theryn Brighthammer, former heir to the Silver Halls, a new home was made for the souls of the lost. Just west of Mirabar and South of Raven Rock, the town of Greyhome was founded for those who cannot truly pass on. Though many stayed in their new home, some decided to travel beyond the gates of Greyhome, looking for new adventures in their new spectral bodies. Theryn Brighthammer declared all who had shared his fate The Unbroken, named for their unbreakable spirit and courage, saving them from an eternity as a mindless wraith. The Unbroken range from any other race. Whether they be a human, an elf, a half-orc, or even a dragonborn, The Unbroken all share the same newfound life. Some may have been normal citizens in life, while others may have been famed dragonslayers. All that matters is the Unbroken have a second chance at life. The Unbroken resemble who they were in life, with the difference being their ghostly blue and white features. The hair of the Unbroken can range from deep blues to pale whites, while their skin glows either a bright blue or dark. Other than the changes of colors and features, The Unbroken look almost exact to their living counterparts.
