Homebrew Yordle Species Details
Yordles may appear to be harmless, small little creatures, however it is dangerous to underestimate these beings. Technically they are spirits, however, unlike other forms of spirits they cannot freely enter the spirit plane. Their home, known as Bandle city appears near the border of Freljord and Demacia every 5 years and remains for 30 days. This is the only way Yordles can travel between planes without some other form of magic. Many decide to spend their entire lives in Bandle city, not caring what is outside. The majority, however will spend at least one 5 year cycle outside, usually in the physical plane. This is due to a natural curiosity, in addition to a natural wanderlust. Quickly growing bored of their surroundings, after they have meticulously explored and learned what they can that is, they tend to bounce from place to place or find a way to avoid repetition in some other way. Often prolific inventors, scouts and explorers they use their natural intelligence and positive outlook to regularly reach heights that few of other races ever have.
