Homebrew Cerenican Species Details

     A people born too soon for their time, Cerenican's are far and few between the commoners of this world. These people live longer than humans but less than dwarves and elves. They were known to build great cities, and harbor magical secrets before their fall. If they were to be born in the current time rather than the past, they would be as plentiful as humans. Your average cerenican used their brain to figure out situations more often than their brawn. These people bread great spellcasters with an innate ability to cast spells without a focus. 

     Born into the harsh snow-covered country of Cerenica, these people grew accustomed to the cold environment around them along with the cold steel they crafted with. While the craftsmen, armorers and smiths were no better than your average dwarf the ability they had to empower their weapons with magic runes was second to none. They were once a people of power but killed themselves due to their own greed. Now its a rare sight to see a Cerenican anywhere in these planes. The people are treated with contempt for the actions of their ancestors or pity for the loss of their home.

     Cerenicans are hard to distinguish from your average human but they do have some defining traits. These are their pale skin, curly black hair, noticable cheakbones and their silver eyes. It is said that their ancestors made a deal with some deity in the past to grant them their masterful abilities, which is why the current Cerenicans have their silver eyes. 

 

Cerenican Traits

Cerenicans are distinguised by their pale skin, silver eyes and curly black hair. They are humanoid and are near indistinguisable to humans. They often times need glasses, but all are born with an innate magical ability, whether that is for casting spells or enhancing themselves for combat.
