Homebrew Arcani Subundis Species Details
The Arcani Subundis were once humans who resided on the Egelian Coast. Conflicts with the Ancient Atmoran Empire over 1000 years ago forced them to hide in the depths of the sea, continuously casting water-breathing spells on themselves in order to survive. The near-constant exposure to magic has warped their physiology, turning their skin blue and granting them permanent water-breathing, as well as a closer connection to the arcane.
