Homebrew Demidritch Species Details

Easily distinguished by their eyes - brightly colored irises that swirl like galaxies in a jet-black sclera - demidritch occupy a precarious precipice in the minds of Luyharnians, equal parts revered and abhorred. Born of a union between humanoids and eldritch beings, demidritch are often referred to as 'half-angels', a misnomer arising from Luyharnians' mistaken belief that these creatures are descended from celestials. Stories abound of radiant silhouettes - eldritch creatures wreathed in powerful illusions - appearing unto pregnant Luyharnians and blessing their progeny with otherworldly powers. 

While the Radiant Church espouses no stance on the morality of such beings, elements amongst their ranks, most notably the bookish Obitus Scholare, prize the demidritch as precious specimens that may provide the key to humanity's survival. The deeds of the righteous demidritch Aitzaz, a first hunter and close friend of Steinhardt, are widely recounted by bards and minstrels across the city. His death at the hands of the ravenous scourge while evacuating the schoolchildren of the Collegium Sancti Oculi precipitated a shift in the treatment of demidritch by Luyharnians. Though they may have otherworldly origins, the alignment of the demidritch, like most humanoids, is a product of their environment and upbringing.
