Homebrew Aab' Shagua Species Details

Aab'shagua make a living off of other realms. The Ethereal Plane cannot support their life on its own, so the aab'shagua travel. They ferry items, knowledge, and creatures across the planes for profit, skimming off what they can spare for themselves. Many dress themselves as walking advertisements. Jewels, pins, toy mechanisms, beetles, little elementals, and more oddities often find themselves draped over aab'shaguan shoulders. They know how easy it is to stand out with just one eye, so aab'shagua go all out with flair.

Aab'shagua hold one treasure sacred above all others. It is not something so mundane as a physical artifact. It is a dream. One all of this race share. When aab'shagua close their eye to rest, they see only emptiness. No black. No white. Simply… nothing.

And then come colors...

Streaks at first, but quickly growing like flames. All their senses swell with overstimulation into a nightmare past comprehension. When all is lost in formless in noise, and sound, and light, and color, a ring appears…

… a sacred band, forged into the shape of an iris, bearing an inscription that runs into itself forever: WITH LUCK COMETH OPPORTUNITY WITH OPPORTUNITY COMETH WEALTH WITH WEALTH COMETH POWER WITH POWER COMETH DIVINITY WITH DIVINITY COMETH PRIDE WITH PRIDE COMETH FAILURE WITH FAILURE COMETH LUCK…
