Homebrew Eldris Species Details

The Eldris race is shrouded in mystery and intrigue since their emergence after the Great Separation. The Eldris are the most closely related to the Old Ones that existed prior to the Separation and bare many physical and arcane similarities. The Eldris are extremely rare, with their existence spoken only as myth and fairytale in many parts of Uthgard. Those that do know of them know them to be highly reclusive and verdantly purist in their minglings, prefuring to mate within their own bloodlines than mix with other Mortal races, which attributes highly to their lack of numbers. While most other races would find numerous complications in this level of inbreeding practice, the Eldris do not have this issue as their genetic codes are nearly perfect, however, their genes are also massively recessive, making any offspring of an Eldris and another Mortal race take on nearly all the physical traits of the Mortal partner of the Eldris parent, save for their golden eyes and magical attunement. 

Eldris Traits

The Eldris are very tall, averaging around 6'- 7' in height with very slight, nimble builds. They have nearly linen-white skin and even brighter hair, with eyes that are solid bright golden, shining like the Sun itself. They have wildly long, pointed ears, usually a foot or more in length and have heightened senses of hearing and sight, especially in the dark. They exhibit major natural talent for the arcane, with most honing their magical skills early on. The Eldris live 400 years at a time. Many of the Eldris prefer to live on high peaks, far from the prying eyes and nefarious dealings below. As of now, the only known Eldris to the Inquisition reside in the treacherous mountains of the Kingdom of Gordis, serving as the ruling class over the nation at large, though the Research and Curiosities Division of the Inquisition postulates that others may reside in Solara, Thaviel, and possibly Duskvere.

Arcane Ancestry

The Eldris maintain a deep connection to the Weave the wild magics it springs forth. Many of the Eldris are born with some kind of magical ability, with many choosing to further hone these abilities. Little is known of why the Eldris have such a prowess in magic, and even fewer have witnessed their power. This trait grants a +2 to your Spell Attack Modifier and your Spell Save DC

Oculus Nocturne

The glittery, golden eyes of the Eldris grant them heightened vision in low to no light environments from their time spent in seclusion. Having to move at night to avoid being captured for their strange and rare qualities, the Eldris developed nocturnal vision to adapt. This Trait grants you 80ft of darkvision.
