Homebrew Egattlings Species Details

Outlander Outlier

Egattlings share the majority of their physical appearances with their mortal parentage, elven heritage will bare pointed ears, dwarven heritage will bear thick beards, etc. Despite this, The Outlands have left a distinct and unique mark on their bodies. Where hair would usually sit, it will have the visage of some astrological phenomena like a colourful nebula, a star nursery, planetary rings, or other such wonder. Their eyes look like murky pearlescent waters. The colouration of their skin is metallic, looking and feeling like either Gold, Mercury, Silver, Copper, Iron, Lead, or Tin. Egattling also share a hint of psychic ability from their outlander blood being able to use a very limited telepathy from a young age.

Feared, Revered and Weird

Egattlings are a rarity, a society’s reaction to them can vary wildly from one to the next. Human societies will often think of them as trouble, because of this half-blood communities will frequently go out of their way to be welcoming. Dwarven societies treat Egattlings as blessings, and even revere them as lesser deities in extreme examples, seeing the metallic skin, cosmic visage and aptitude for perfection in repetitive work as divine. Elven society tends to treat them with a sense of bittersweet compassion and a condescending coddling. Elves are the race most likely to see multiple Egattlings in a life time, and to understand that being born one means you’ll only have a century and a half of life at best, a firework that burns bright but is gone much too soon. Older Halflings are definitely interested in sticking their noses in the affairs of young Egattlings as they are exceedingly rare for the race, but the mystique quickly wavers as their neutral nature has them fall in with Halfling’s homebody society easily.

Naming Conventions: Egattlings tend to follow whatever naming convention their parent race follows, but if they are abandoned or set off on their own they will often pick or just know a name based on what is depicted on them.
Examples: Hyades, Saturn, Crux, Pleiades, Aquila, Bellatrix, Orion, Vega, Rigal, Gemini, Andromeda, Messier, Circinus, Mayall, etc.
