Homebrew Reigar Species Details

Reigar are androgynous folk who evolved into a humanoid shape from a species of cephalopods similar to octopi. They have bioluminescent freckles and the ability to change the coloration of their skin. A glory (or halo) surrounds each of them. This magical display is a cloud of twinkling, glittering motes that changes color randomly and repels attacks.

Reigar don’t trust one another, which has been the case ever since they destroyed their home world in a war that ended with a cataclysmic event called the Master Stroke. The planet’s destruction was the culmination of a plot to create the most beautiful display of carnage the multiverse had ever seen. Reigar exist solely to make art and wage war. They consider warfare to be the highest form of artistic endeavour, and every act of violence they commit is done with the intent of creating something beautiful.

Player Character reigar possess a magic item called a Lesser Talarith, which the reigar created and to which they alone can attune. If this object is lost or destroyed, it takes 1d10 + 20 days for the reigar to craft another one.
