Homebrew Vren Species Details

Anatomy

Vren have a humanoid shape that is often pale and slender with slight hues of varying colors. Though as they age, they gain a grayer tint to their body.

Growth Rate & Stages

Once a vren is born, it will go through childhood until it hits puberty around ages 14-16 years. During puberty, that is when a vren's natural ability in the arcane begins to surge. Without proper restraint, minimal damage from emotional outbursts will be had. A vren will then reach maturity by age 20.

Ecology and Habitats

The optimal environment for a vren is any place that isn't dry or sunny on an average day. Vren risk sunburn slightly easier to a human. Only a picky and stubborn one would avoid these places. To compensate, vren will put up protective tarps to block out the gazing sun, should they be in a desert.

Additional Information

Social Structure

In a primal way, vren admire someone who is adept in the arcane. The idea is that those who have this power would protect the group with it and utilize it for the betterment of society. Those who would use their natural gift selfishly or evil would be harshly punished.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Nearly all vren are found in Cyorrin though it is possible that pockets of vren communities step out into the world so they can see more of it.

Average Intelligence

Compared to Dwarrin or dragonborn, vren outcompete them in terms of average intelligence. For a vren, mastering their arcane gift requires study and seeing it as a way of solving a problem.
