Homebrew Frogfolk Species Details

History

Frogfolk have been around since the coming of the elves and fey. But at that time, they were just regular frogs. As the elves began to advance, the frogfolk came to the elves for help to make them more humanoid. And so, the elven wizards and sorcerers gave the frogfolk the ability to walk, talk, and fight. As dwarves, humans, and half-orcs came into existence, the frogfolk were always welcomed by all races. However, some people disliked the frogfolk, and started a revolution against them. The revolution was successful and the frogfolk were exiled to swamps, forests and foggy, dark lakes. Since then, frogfolk have either stayed in their locations, or have found a way to actually get into villages and live there with people who still believe they're normal and accept them.

Society

For the frogfolk who stay in their respected location, they usually stay in groups or "herds". They will usually stay together in their group and fight together if needed to fight off predators such as aarakocras, dragonborn and half-orcs. This communal life is not for all and many do stray out to find their own fortunes in the lands their ancestors used to traverse. It is a different world, where frogfolk often are scrutinized by those in positions of power. Elves remain their staunchest ally race.
