Homebrew Mistborn Species Details
The Mistborn are an enigmatic race formed from living fog, said to have emerged from ancient, sentient mists that drift between worlds. Some believe they are the remnants of souls lost in the void, while others claim they were created by forgotten deities of air and shadow. Their bodies are semi-corporeal, constantly shifting between solid and vaporous states, making them elusive, mysterious, and often feared by those who don’t understand them.
