Homebrew Alfcena (Fey Goblins) Species Details
When the conquerer god Maglubiyet stole the goblinoids from their home in the feywild to unleash upon the material plane, the gods of the fey courts did their best to hide some of their subjects while hiding from the conquerer gods wrath. Their goblin subjects that managed to escape were able to repopulate and continued to thrive in the feywild, with their prolongued stay in the feywild having altered their biology. These goblinoids have grown distinct from their yellow and green counterparts of the material plane, being named the Alfcena (Bright spirits in Sylvan). The Alfcena are very loyal to the gods of the Unseelie and Seelie courts, and those that aren't still find themselves deeply connected to the cycles of the feywild. The Alfcena have developed an ability to walk in and out of the feywild, appearing to simply move from one place to another in the blink of an eye. Each Alfcena resonates with the power of one of the courts of the feywild, which are captured in the circadian form of day and night Alfcena. Alfcena are incredibly emotional, and can change their forms based on strong emotions, however some choose to remain in one form indefinitely as a show of loyalty to one of the fey courts. Alfcena have been blessed, living twice as long as goblins and reaching up to 130 years of age. Alfcena reach maturity around age 16.
Day Alfcena tend to embody firey and excitable emotions. They can be overcome with happiness, anger, passion, and stubborness. They appear yellow or beige.
Night Alfcena tend to embody mellow and somber emotoins. They can be filled with sadness, calm, reverence, and quiet calculation. They appear grey or blue.
Dusk and Dawn Alfcena are rare states. An Alfcena in these states may feel neither calm or fired up, but may enter a state of perfect focus and balance. They appear orange or pink.
You can change your circadian form once per long rest.
