Homebrew Malrûn Species Details

"Traveling is a brutality and a burden. It forces you to trust strangers and lose sight of all the familiar comforts of home and friends. You are constantly off balance... Nothing is yours except for the essential things; Air, Sleep, Dream, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it."

~ Malinora, Malrûn speeker of the Seelie Fey Court

 Every Malrûn has a certain longing to travel, its a core part of their lineages identity; both as individual and general fey. In a folk of planar outsiders, even a Malrûn sticks out - Masks of individual design and apperance covering their faces, the bodies changed by the very place they may at some point learn to call home. Once a Malrûn finds a place they feel like they belong to, their innate and somewhat unstable magic connects instinctivly with their chooses habitat - Where one might settle in a forest and through their shared bond with their grove  develope barked skin and branched antlers, another might find peace of mind in the snowfields of the north... or even outside of the Known World.

Their masks are a representation of this unique connection, made through arcane means kept secret by their people from the materials they may find in their 'homestead'. Where a fey might value their name as much as their life, this too applies to a Malrûns maks - Loosing a mask is similar to loosing ones name, and having a mask in ones possession gives a certain power over the perticualr fey it belongs to due to their mask being linked to themself by their own spiritual means.
