Homebrew Cloud Elf Species Details

Only found among the ranks of The Black Inquisition, and sired by the Deity of Fear and Justice to support his empire, but also to endure the ravages of time and carryocarry his legacy for eternity.

Among the Legions of the Inquisition the Cloud Elves are renowned as not just skilled fighters, but also powerful mystics, with many known to follow in the footsteps of their Divine Father. Taking up the mantle of Paladins and Crusaders, and performing daring and dangerous feats in an attempt to prove themselves worthy of being his progeny. This has led to them earning a reputation as daredevils among those who don't understand their drive to feel the light of their Father's distant affection.

Among those societies who do not fall under the Inquisition's shadow, Cloud Elves are a complete unknown, and are often met with confusion and disbelief. Typically reserved and aloof, Cloud Elves prefer to let their actions speak louder than their words, and their calm demeanor rarely betrays their true emotions. 

Their appearance is unnerving to many, their light blue skin, white eyes and light-coloured hair give them a somewhat ethereal, haunted look.
