Homebrew Ashtites Species Details

 

Appearance

The Warped are tall and gaunt, towering above most races. Standing between 7 and 8 feet, their bodies are unnaturally elongated, with thin frames that move in a manner both graceful and unsettling. Their features are sharp and stretched, as if pulled too taut, and their eyes gleam with an unnatural intensity that betrays their divine crafting.

Despite their strange forms, there is an undeniable austere beauty to them—like statues half-carved, or figures glimpsed in dreams.

Culture

Enderians are physically immortal—their bodies resist disease, hunger, and time. Yet this gift is bound by a cruel counterbalance: their minds deteriorate when away from their native realm, Nexalem. In mortal lands, their thoughts unravel like frayed threads.

• After centuries of exile, their speech becomes erratic, their reason slips, and they are haunted by visions of truths half-remembered.
  
  
• By 900 years, most Enderians have lost all coherence, becoming little more than hollow shells muttering fragments of wisdom and madness.

Warped cannot resist their urge to seek, question, and record. They are drawn to places where secrets linger and truths fester, often gravitating to shrines, ruins, or libraries forgotten by time. Many of their kind are found wherever Ashtad’s influence is strongest, such as the labyrinthine depths of the Underfoot.

This hunger for truth often makes them uneasy allies—respected for their wisdom, yet mistrusted for the madness that slowly gnaws at them.

Trance

You don’t need to sleep, and magic can’t put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation, during which you retain consciousness.

Whenever you finish this trance, you can gain two proficiencies that you don’t have, each one with a weapon or a tool of your choice selected from the Player’s Handbook. You mystically acquire these proficiencies by drawing them from shared elven memory, and you retain them until you finish your next long rest.
