Homebrew Aldrnari Species Details

When the first humans traveled north, the harsh environment proved to be deadlier then they had expected. Many succumbed to the cold before the elders devised a plan that would protect their people from the elements of this new land. The tribe’s most powerful priests united and with all their powers forged a pact with Sulfrid, a powerful giant who made his home under the volcanic Royke mountain. They bound flame spirits to the hearts of their unborn children so as to strengthen and protect them. The ritual was successful and those born proved immune to the cold of the north. Marked by their fiery red hair and eyes and tall stature, the people known as the Aldrnari now travel across the north in nomadic tribes. The Aldrnari do not stay in one place for too long and only have one permanent settlement where the tribes come together to discuss major matters that would affect their people as a whole.
