Homebrew Ethereal Species Details
Hailing from the shattered remains of the planet K'aresch, Ethereals are interdimensional travelers composed of pure, unbound arcane energy. After a cataclysmic invasion by the Void lords ripped their world apart, their organic bodies were completely vaporized and converted into raw magical plasma. To prevent their energetic forms from dissipating into the void, they bind themselves in heavily enchanted, reinforced stasis wraps.Visually, an Ethereal appears as a humanoid silhouette of brilliant, humming energy, entirely bound in glowing cloth strips and mechanical stabilizers. They do not eat, sleep, or breathe in a conventional sense; instead, they sustain themselves directly on the raw magical currents of the cosmos. Known as brilliant strategists, hardened planar warriors, and ruthless merchants, Ethereals treat the battlefield like a chessboard, manipulating the fabric of space and time to outmaneuver any threat.
