Homebrew Eld Species Details

Elds

Elds often live in large tribes in unexplored forests. Eldor tribes can stretch kilometres where they hunt, gather and grow. They appreciate and love the beauty of nature both hostile and passive. They are believed to be a distant relative of both Elves and Firbolgs but are very different to both. For starters, Elds are 9-10 feet tall and have long stretching tails. They are covered in short hairs that vary in colour. They have impeccable hearing that they can even use as a form of echolocation. Elds are well suited for long distance running, jumping and climbing and are very athletic. Additionally, they hold an extremely close bond with nature. Elds never take more than they need and when one dies, they give the bodies back to the forests they live in so as to give back to nature.
