Homebrew Dorthin Species Details

Physical Description

Dorthin are much like humans when judged by physical appearances alone, unless one is aware of their eyes. Their eyes are white spheres which have no iris or pupil, preventing any sort of normal vision. Despite their resemblance to humans, their hair is always black, even when a Dorthin reaches the age of 150, their hair will maintain its color rather than graying.

As a result of their intense training that both genders of the race face when they begin to mature, their physical strength shows itself clearly through their developed muscles. Due to tradition, it is very unlikely to see a Dorthin without his/her ceremonial blindfold which is usually patterned in accordance with the wearers personality.

History

"The Dorthin were once a beautiful people, with sight that could see through all. But there was a time the Dorthin misused this gift, gambling and seeing the other players hands. Treachery was frowned upon and the gods put out the eyes of the Dorthin, revoking all their sight. Many of the people wished for redemption; the monks and faithful, good, souls of the Dorthin were given sight back, in a small way, until they once again gain sight that surpassed all" - Murin, Dorthin elder

Society

They may also give their child to the order as like unto they were also given. In so doing, adventuring and returning to provide for the children.
