Homebrew Fane Undead(Fanefolk) Species Details

Fane was once a prosperous if not superstitious port city in Daitor, one of the proud founding City-States of the kingdom they boasted the most talented hardy sailors in the East. Betrayed by their Prince and raised into undeath the Fane have suffered immense trauma and their place in the world is uncertain at best. friends and family now see them as monsters,  the tenacious Fanefolk have not lost all hope, they endure and survive.

 

 

 

Pious and Stubborn

Fanefolk kept to themselves and were slow to trust, Undeath has only strengthened these traits. There were few options for the common folk of Fane, serve at sea or toil on land against orcs for the benefit of the Nobles. In life and undeath Fanefolk have endured much in the wake of Long Night.

Fanefolk come in an asortment of skin tones and various states of decay, many were drowned when the Seawall was destroyed during the Daitorian attempt to reclaim the city. A great many of the commonfolk were half-orcs as a result of the southern Orc tribes as well, once ostracized they have become one kin as a result of shared suffering.

 

 

it is unclear how long the Fanefolk will...exist in their current state. The tragedy of Fane is only a year past and the decay of their bodies has been relatively unnoticed. In the aftermath of this tragedy, Fanefolk have clung to their faith in Ghena and Anir to see them through these dark times. Fanefolk have taken to sea once more and manned the battlements along Discords Run, determined to earn their keep in this world. they shrug off the labels of victims and monsters alike, their actions will speak louder than any jeering crowd. 

Individual Fanefolk are determined and reserved, decisive and stubborn to a fault. Many Fanefolk have suffered the loss of family since turning Undead, leaving them bitter and resentful in some cases, heartbroken and lost in others. Fane was once a city steeped in prejudice and injustice, but suffering has brought them unity and they stand united against a world that sees them only as monsters.
