Homebrew Krakoa Species Details
The entities known only as the Krakoa were once a host of Triton warriors. These Triton had lost a major battle against a powerful kraken allowing the beast to enter the material plane through the very portal they guarded on the plane of water. They were able to wound the beast however it's blackened blood stained the waters.
One of the mages among the triton took the blood of the beast and created a ritual to empower his form with its power. He became the first of a new race, the Krakoa. They use the very power of the abominations of the deep to combat, fighting fire with fire.
