Homebrew Aranthi Species Details

The aranthi (also called skunklings) were raised from their lowly state through constant exposure to the natural magic found so freely in lands filled with the fey, and so generation by generation, year by year, the skunks who lived in these lands lived out their shy, quiet, peaceful lives, growing steadily larger and more intelligent, until they achieved true sentience and began to spread their numbers into the wider world. However, after a particularly calamitous famine-filled year, superstition led most to believe the aranthi’s god, Mesphitis, was responsible. Believing the aranthi to be carriers of the plague, they were hunted en mass. Now, with their god dying, they live in small communities on the edge of the feywild, hiding from the world.
