Homebrew Cervian Courtwalker Species Details

Originating in the Feywild, the Courtwalkers are a royal lineage born to rule. They resemble satyrs to some extent, but Cervan Courtwalkers have massive deer antlers and armored limbs. They are also far bigger, with bushy tails.

The courtwalkers mature rapidly, but their growth is magical. Few courtwalkers awaken to their true form to obtain the massive bodies that are feared by so many.

Their minds have been proofed for royal tasks by the feywild - they resist magical intrusions into their dealings, and have an innate instinct for systems and positions of power, as well as how to keep them.
