Homebrew Astralborn Species Details
Born to the astral plane, the astralborn a strange folk. Tall and thin with glowing rings across their bodies and dark skin, these folk resemble elves to some manner. It’s believed that early in their history, they were indeed elves, until they split off, forming what is today known as the Astralborn. They are known to live within the astral plane during their infancy, and leave the astral plane upon reaching 100 years of age.
Often when in typical society, the astralborn tend to isolate themselves. They’re seen as outsiders, intelligent aliens from an outer plane.
