Homebrew Eradar Species Details

"When I look upon you I see raw, untamed, power.  You will be my vanguard.  You will be what creation itself fears."  ~Asmodeus

 

Born of an unholy experiment by the King of the 9 Burning Hell's, Eradar are the result of Tieflings infused with the essence of the Abyss who mated with one another to produce such terrifying offspring.  Standing at well over 6-7 feet tall, with a long tail, barbs on their shoulder and spine, and bat like wings on their back, the Eradar become terror with just their physical appearance alone.  They possessed 2 rows o teeth, one that is sharp like daggers, and the other flat like plant eaters.  Their eyes are all solid green like emeralds, however they possess a serpent slit for their pupils.  The once trait they share with their tiefling creators is they possess horns and cloven hooves for feet.  Originally designed to be the very vanguard of Asmodeus, the king of hell saw not just their potential of aiding him, but one day overthrowing him.  Paranoia overtaking him, Asmodeus attempted to wipe out this experiment out of fear.  Luckily for the Eradar, they managed to escape from their maker and his realm and began traversing the entirety of creation.  Eventually the would come across a arch mage who's name has long been forgotten.  Upon being protected and raised by this arch mage, the Eradar began to gain knowledge of magic and the worlds that surrounded them.  Eventually, beings found within the heavenly realms came to realize the existence of these new monstrous entities.  In order to protect them, the Mage decided to send them to a realm away from the prying eyes of both Fel and Celestial. This realm would become known as Eden, a plain of existence mirroring that of the material plain, but with notable differences such as more vicious elements.  The Strongest of the Eradar, the Eradar Lords, came to erect a city in the heart of this realm and build a monument to their adoptive parent in memory of him.  After years of hiding away, the Eradar have become active in creation once more, but for what reason no one knows.  All that is certain is that the hate of their creator still lies in their hearts, and that one day the plan on finally ending his existence, or die trying.
