Homebrew Atomie Species Details

An atomie-populated forest is unmistakable by the windows, balconies, and bridges carved into and connecting their tree homes. The small tribes of atomies are often silent during light hours, hidden in the trees, sleeping and keeping to themselves. At night, however, these arboreal communities spring to life; mischievous chortling grows quite audible, fey magic decorates the shadows, and extravagant story-songs are carried far in the wind.

Faerie-May-Care

The atomie people are famously easygoing. Their unaggressive and highly affectionate personalities earn them scarce enemies and abundant allies. Anyone who does become the atomies’ enemy are fended off easily by their fey tricks and their swarm-like battle tactics. The hair styles, clothing varieties, and general self-expressions of atomies varied wildly between individuals, showing the race’s genuine laidback and whimsical attitude.

Being such a lighthearted group, atomies go to great lengths to surround themselves with similarly jovial folk. Atomies will intentionally plan expeditions around settlements of peoples they find too serious, even if it adds weeks to their journey. An atomie’s general attitude, particularly towards figures of authority, are seen by many as disrespectful. However, this attitude comes naturally to them as their leaders are appointed informally and don’t hold nearly the same power in their communities as other leaders.

Gifted Orators

Atomie society is built around stories. History is passed down through ballads of legendary warriors and brilliant innovators. Geography is taught with tales of adventurers losing their way; their patron deity, Damh, as their only hope of returning home.

These stories are valued so greatly that their leaders are often chosen for their storytelling ability. Their proclivity to theatre and live entertainment has given them a natural wit and a comedic charm. This natural charisma consistently delights all those they meet in their adventure.

Arboreal Apartments

Atomies make their homes in old, solid trees. They carve out the middle of enchanted trees, whittling furniture from the leftover insides. Their homes are well hidden by both clever construction and simple illusions.

Atomie homes typically house a single family, although atomie definitions of family may be different from most. Most settlements have a steady amount of these timber towers, as their inhabitants magic keeps them growing after being hollowed out, and this growth keeps rough pace with the growing and shrinking of their families. In the rare case that the carving of a new tree home is necessary, it is a huge event, with every member of the community uniting to get it done.
