Homebrew Dresily Species Details

These were the stories of a restless people who long ago took to the stars and oceans in Galleons, never to settle always on the move

Dresily are the oldest of all known races, first to arrive on the world scene and live long like dwarves and elves. Perhaps it is because of their long  lives that achieve great knowledge and power. Or maybe they feel they have to show how much better they are compared to the other races, and that’s why they build their legacies on the foundation of knowledge and power. Whatever drives them, Dresily are the achievers, and the elders of the world.

A Broad Spectrum

With their penchant for migration, Dresily are more physically diverse than most other races. An individual can stand from 4 feet to a little over 8 feet tall and weigh from 85 to 300 pounds. Dresily skin shades range from different shades of grey to pure white, and they have no hair. They have 3 foot tail that are very strong(like a dragons) and usually have a metal/or bone like plating on their face.  Dresily reach adulthood at 40 years old live just over 2000 years old.

Dresily are the most adaptable and ambitious of people. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they have traveled. When they do settle, though, they don't stay for long(in comparison to their lives): they build cities to last for the ages. An Dresily might have long life span(a couple millennium), but a Dresily nation or culture preserves knowledge with origins far beyond the reach of any other race. They live fully in the present—making them well suited to the adventuring life—but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy. Individually and as a group, Dresily are adaptable opportunists, and they stay alert to changing political and social dynamics throughout the lands.

EVERYONE'S ADVISOR

With the wealth of knowledge and experience they obtain through their long lasting lives, they are not shy to share and advise others. As they feel it is their duty as an superior race.

 

Lasting Knowledge

Where as humans find orders and religion to hold onto, Dresily cling to the wealth of knowledge,  they are cognoscenti.

Although many dresily can be xenophobic, in general their societies are inclusive. Dresily lands welcome large numbers of  other races, compared to the proportion of dresily who live in other lands.

Exemplars of Ambition

Dresily who seek adventure are the most daring and ambitious members of a ambitious race. They seek to earn glory in the eyes of their fellows by amassing power, wealth, and Knowledge. More than other people(beside humans), Dresily champion causes rather than territories or groups.

Dresily Names and Ethnicities

Having so much more variety than other cultures, Dresily as a whole have no typical names. Some Dresily give their children names from other languages, such as Dwarvish or Elvish (pronounced correctly), but most parents give names that are linked to their region they were born in or their ancestors.

The material culture and physical characteristics of dresily can change wildly from region to region. They change their clothing and the way they speak according to the culture and religion of their surrounding lands.

In the Forgotten Realms, dresily ethnic groups don't really exists, though over a dozen are found in more localized areas of Faerûn.
