Homebrew Clouditia Species Details

The Clouditia live on the perilous heights of mighty mountains. They do not hide in caves like goblins or dwarves but instead live in towns composed of open-air platforms and walkways. The Clouditia do not fear the elements - the freezing air, the stinging rain, and sleet, nor do they fear the gusts of wind that could send a lesser being to its death on the rocks below. So why should the Clouditia fear to rush headlong into battle?

Prowda

Prowda is one of the smallest Mountain Clouditia villages, isolated on a windy peak along the northern border. But it is from this village that the Clouditia armies obtain their Storm Mages. The sky rumbles and darkens at their approach and blue electricity cracks along their arms and weapons. They do not seek death, yet they will not shy from calling down lightning from the heavens with which to obliterate their enemies.

Staunchly territorial, the Clouditia employ wardens to protect their borders. These brave defenders engage would-be interlopers, using the rock of the mountains to their natural advantage. Yet they are not overly harsh in their treatment of strangers. Many travelers are unaware of their intrusion and receive a warning as a courtesy, though some races are treated as hostile on sight. In the face of overwhelming opposition, wardens will fall back and notify the nearest lodge.

The Clouditia are a fierce race, though this is driven by necessity. Theirs is a cold and punishing home, and throughout history, there were those races that hunted them for food. Adventuring Clouditia make formidable fighters, for the farther they are from the safe and familiar environs of home, the more panicked and frenzied they become. Many clouditia will not go to villages as they might fear they are traps.
