Silkborne (Bugfolk) Traits

From kingdoms long buried in shadow, the Silkborne creep into the world like fragments of a forgotten hymn. Their chitin gleams pale as bone, and their spectral threads whisper with the weight of memory. Each carries the silence of crumbling halls and the echo of battles never told, moving with purpose as if bound to an ancient song that refuses to die.
