Homebrew Elnade Species Details

A completely female race that resides in their home, The Elemental Plane of Water, they resemble pixies and have an almost otherworldly visage. Their skin tends to be tinted in light shades of blue, with an almost liquid appearance, but their skin is solid.. They generally stand around 5 feet tall and are slimmer creatures.

Elnade are inquisitive and touchy by nature. They gain satisfaction in the exploration of the world around them, figuring out how it works and how they work within the grand scheme.

Elnade tend to be express parental care toward their friends and allies. They are quite willing to put their safety aside for the needs of others and willingly sacrifice themselves for their allies, though, they never do so foolishly.

Relations

Elnade work well with most other races. However, those that actively or have been known to violate their watery homes as a whole are despised and ignored.

Elnade work well with races aligned with nature, the closer the better, making most fey, elves, gnomes and druids, good company for an Elnade.

With their natural healing skills, they are welcome in places that accept strange folk. They are extremely inquisitive by nature and will often be found near machinery and industry when crossing over into the material plane.

Religion

 As a whole, they are surprisingly devout and pay reverence to other deities they gain affinity with or hear about.

Though, as worlds vary, so do the gods that influence them. Elnades are most apt to worship Water deities or other nature deities. As a female culture, they tend toward goddesses and mother nature figures.

Names

Elnade are occasionally named in Aquan for the location or body of water that they were birthed at or live in. Typically, they have a traditional Aquan name.

Female: Croa, Ewna, Hadeunne, Iweunne, Jinweh, Sopweh, Uala, Zefeh, Corah, Aqua
