Homebrew Yordle Species Details
Opinions differ as to where exactly the home of the yordles is to be found, though a handful of mortals claim to have traveled unseen pathways to a land of curious enchantment beyond the material realm. They tell of a place of unfettered magic, where the foolhardy can be led astray by myriad wonders, and end up lost in a dream...
In Bandle City, it is said that every sensation is heightened for non-yordles. Colors are brighter. Food and drink intoxicates the senses for years and, once tasted, will never be forgotten. The sunlight is eternally golden, the waters crystal clear, and every harvest brings a fruitful bounty. Perhaps some of these claims are true, or maybe none—for no two taletellers ever seem to agree on what they actually saw.
Only one thing is known for certain, and that is the timeless quality of Bandle City and its inhabitants. This might explain why those mortals who find their way back often appear to have aged tremendously, while many more never return at all.

Glamour
Yordles have developed magic to hide their true forms from the other races. If you so wish any non-yordle looking at you will see a short human with similar, appropriate features, as opposed to your real appearance. This effect does not work on the insane and those who do not fear creatures of the Spirit Realms.
In addition, when you so wish, non-yordles have disadvantage on perception checks made to see you.
Yordle Nimbleness
You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Yordle(Sylvan). The Yordle language isn’t a secret per se , but Yordles don't typically share it with others. Very little is known about Yordles including what their culture is like within Bandle City. Almost all Yordles speak Common to converse with the people in whose lands they dwell or through which they are traveling.
