Homebrew Dreamborn Revenant Species Details
Dreamborn Revenants are rare beings forged from ancient arcane anomalies. Created by a magical blip in the heart of the Sage's Guild, they are neither born nor undead — but something stranger. Their souls once tethered to dreams, they now walk the line between life and undeath, feeding not on blood, but on the subconscious minds of mortals. Often mistaken for Tieflings or Dhampir, they are older than many civilizations and far more dangerous when provoked.
