Homebrew Darkborn Species Details
Darkborn are shadow spirits that bound themselves into vaguely humanoid forms to live with them. They often do so because they fell in love with a mortal creature and wanted to join them in dreaming, believing, suffering, and dying. They vary widely in appearance but invariably have a white mask built into their body.
