Homebrew Fjord Species Details
Crafted from the drums of war, the Fjord are only born during the clash of swords and magic. Rejected by humans and dwarves, the Fjord seeks acceptance and protection so they can build a civilization of those born under the curse of the pounding drums. Born inside of obsidian spheres, the sightings of these spheres are found throughout the world. When these spheres crack open, the ground beneath it shatters and starts to burn gently. These melancholy beings are nomads that travel throughout nations to develop some form of society and find inner peace or fall into a cynical state.

Age
Fjords are brought into this world by the Drums of War, when the Fjord are conceived into the world they appear inside of obsidian sphere, and at birth the sphere rises up and implodes leaving whatever around it damaged. Young Fjord grow quickly and require a lot of food, a malnourished Fjord will have grey skin and patches of hair missing from their heads, a race filled with beauty, having this defect will lead them to suicide. The spirit of a grey skin Fjord child will reap the closest village and cause an extreme famine of three years. They attain the size and development of a 10 year old human child by age 5 they don't experience any human growth around this age. (No hormonal growth) The Fjord reach adulthood by age 50 however they cannot reproduce until the age of adulthood, and can only reproduce with other Fjords, and can live up to 300 years old.
Alignment
Fjord typically lean away from conflict, as being born from conflict they despise politics and warfare. However, they are naturally gifted in both, and will only intervene in such affairs if deemed necessary for their species survival. They value love and lust, knowledge, and freedom. The Fjord will protect other's freedom as well, they don't care for race, the Fjord will stand up for any races freedom, including Humans and Dwarves. They view conflict different, always seeing it as grey, never black or white, as creatures born from conflict, it would be an insult to act so extreme. Politics is an offensive job that a Fjord at time must take, but comes with much honor when outcomes come out correctly. However, in politics what is correct, and what is wrong is subjective. The Fjord lean more to a Chaotic Neutral, those Fjord who are filled with rage, and deep despair eventually fall deep into Chaotic Evil lose all sense of humanity and lose their free will becoming mindless creatures that use only instinct to survive.
Size and Speed
Fjord are taller than humans, but not by much. Usually around 6-7 feet in males, and 6 feet in females. Average weight is around 180-250 in males, and 130-200 in females. Your size is medium. When a Fjord has accomplished max level, they receive beautiful bat like wings that span 10-15 feet and can achieve flight faster than any normal sparrow.

Languages
You can speak, read, write the Common language and any language used in the landmass your sphere lands in.
