Homebrew Ornn Species Details
Ornns are stout, elemental beings resembling mountainous creatures. Their bodies are covered in rugged, rocky skin, and they possess large, imposing horns protruding from their heads. Despite their formidable appearance, they move with a deliberate grace, their movements echoing the steady march of the earth itself. Past this, the different dynasties of the necron race feature unique coloration to set each other apart. As most lords are too prideful for tactical advantage, they tend to put their people in flashy metals, decorated well to show other courts how well off they are.
Ornns are ancient beings, said to have been forged from the very fabric of the earth by primordial forces. They have existed since time immemorial, their presence woven into the myths and legends of countless civilizations. Legends speak of Ornns as guardians of the earth's secrets, keepers of ancient knowledge, and stalwart defenders against the forces of chaos.
Ornns are solitary beings, often dwelling in remote, mountainous regions far from the hustle and bustle of civilization. They are revered as wise elders and skilled artisans by those who know of their existence. Ornns take great pride in their craftsmanship, spending countless hours honing their skills as blacksmiths and artisans.
