Homebrew Fahlen Stahligh Species Details

Wandering the wilds in search of the stars, each Fahlen seeks that which they cannot touch anymore. Stahligh aren’t even native to the Material Plane, but cannot remember where they once thrived. They hail from a world beyond the skies.

They are fallen astral beings with no set path before them.

Color Shift and Aura

 

While Stahligh generally have a form resembling humans or other bipedal races they have a color shifting skin that can mimic a race they are fond of to fit in but they cannot shapeshift. Although rare, but if seen in their natural form their skin as dark as the night sky and sparkled with glimmering star-like patterns.

Stahligh can emit their feelings as an aura to show those around them things that they cannot convey through gesture or language. They can also feel to an extent what those around them are experiencing.

Astral Plains

 

During the night hours the Stahligh are at the height of their prowess. They seem to gain more awareness while under the cover of dark sky filled with stars. While being more passive they have many ways to defend themselves still. Even disconnected from their starry home they are able to tap into otherworldly abilities.

Fahlen Mannerisms

Most Stahligh do not seek to hurt others of any kind due to them being able to feel the pain and anguish of other beings. However this makes them seek to help those who are experiencing tragedies and torment. Only for self defense or the greater peace of many will the Stahligh perform hostile acts of aggerssion.

If a strong bond is formed with another it may also make it of highest priority to protect their companion at all costs. 

Great Purpose

With no real purpose among the lands, a Stahligh will spend most of its life searching for meaning, feeling out its surroundings and the people among it. Maybe someday it will find its way back to its true home, but until then it may seek keep to itself and not ask or require anything of the peoples around it or ,by chance, it will think it its duty to help those around it to feel their happiness and lessen the amount of pain in the world. 

Stahligh Names

Most Stahligh pick up the language of where they spend most of their time, but can always communicate perfectly with other Stahligh. When interacting with other races, Stahligh may use nicknames gained from people they meet or shortened forms of their full names.

A Stahligh of either gender may have one of these short names: Astali, Juphie, Indirin, Teli, Kalasa, Mirit, Raist, Medas, Dimi, Kala, Acrosi.

The small colonies of Stahligh are insular and remote, although many live on their own as nomads.
