Homebrew Feylings Species Details

 

“In all of my many travels, never before have I seen a being so strange and alone. Joking, laughing, and using magic as an extra limb. Small but graceful in a way, and hiding great pain behind his eyes. As his skin changed hue to a soft blue, Antoch seemed to know that people would look at him strangely, and so he had already decided to be what they expected. Sometimes I would catch him gazing down at his tattered tiara, staring at the black stone in the center as if it may hold secrets that would reveal his purpose if he just looked long enough.”

-Unknown Traveler

 

They travel alone in the world, searching in the vain hope that they will encounter another of their kind. They wear their emotions on their sleeves, whether they want to or not. Feylings are the rare and mysterious product of an Eladrin and a Halfling. They enter the world feeling out of place, and with a clinging loneliness they cannot shake. 

Products of Two Worlds

When an Eladrin and a Halfling find love in one another, the result is a being with strange power and a beautifully odd appearance. Standing slightly taller than an average Halfling, and possessing the lythe build of the Eladrin. They possess a few key features all their own. With large, wide, pointed ears and naturally black nails and lips. The truest way to tell a Feyling apart, is their skin. A Feyling’s skin is a kaleidoscope of changing colors. Changing hue based on their most dominant emotion at the time. 

Flung Afar

While different enough to be a race all their own, Feylings are so remarkably rare that many go their entire lives without seeing another of their kind. Most spend those lives traveling and searching both the Material Plane and the Feywilds for others like them.  They are often met with odd looks by those they find on their travels. Many Feylings have learned to put up with these looks. They put on airs of not caring, of always being full of energy. n reality, they often suffer from their loneliness. They hide this pain deep in their eyes, for only themselves to see.
