Homebrew Zol'diin Species Details
Physical Description
These tall humanoids look very much like the high elves of the world. Their is just two minor differences, the Zol'diin have only three fingers and two toes which they stand upon. The Zol'diin are a digitigrade race that have very pure alabaster skin, most of them take great care to add intricate designs upon themselves with pale thin lined ink.

The Zol'diin are tall lithe creatures that can be mistaken for an elf from afar. The majority of Zol'diin prefer to adorn themselves with little fabric and have jewelry adorning the rest of them. Preferring the highest quality and intricacies in their attire.
Society
The Zol'diin, after crash landing their colony ship on this world, setup an advanced city of magical technology that they took from their ship and used their cloaking field to hide themselves from the rest of the world. They want to affect as little of the world as possible until the world takes to the stars. With the strictness they have for not going out of their city, they have very regulated societal structure so as to maintain their laws and customs of non-interference.
Adventurers
Not all Zol'diin continue to hold true to their customs and laws from before the crash. So those Zol'diin have left the confines of the cloaked city and went out in the world to study, learn, and perhaps influence the rest of the world in some way. All that leave are no longer allowed back into the city for the have become traitors to their people.
