Homebrew Dolmere Species Details

The Dolmere are the result of a desperate ritual practiced by a persecuted sect. To escape death, their members abandoned their mortal bodies and bound their souls into small, handcrafted vessels, a simple white doll of cloth and thread.

The ritual succeeded. Their minds, memories, and identities persisted, fully intact within their new forms. Though their bodies are small and seemingly fragile, their will and intellect remain that of a living being. However, their original bodies were lost, buried, or destroyed. There is no returning. Now, the Dolmere endure as wandering souls in artificial forms, growing their numbers by offering release to those who no longer wish to remain bound to flesh.

They do not hunger. They do not tire. But neither do they truly live.
