Homebrew Astrologian Species Details

Astrologians, also known as "the people of the stars" are beings who have an innate thirst for knowledge, pouring over tomes and books, the more forbidden, the better. A nomadic people, their strange magic and divination abilities makes certain races like dwarves a little distrustful of them whilst the more impatient find their slow decision making process to be beyond infuriating. Normally peaceful, the Astrologians prefer to remain neutral in most conflicts but are capable combatants. Whilst Astrologian adults are rather cryptic and almost aloof, preferring to have only a few close friends, Astrologian children are open and friendly to others with a desire to explore which often puts them at risk since they often don't develop a sense of reason equal to their wanderlust until later years.
