Homebrew Iedan Species Details
The Iedan are what appear to be people composed of a single mineral. They were created by a legendary wizard hailing from a noble family of knowledge seekers, wanting a people who would do the same. While they can do anything they wish, they find themselves predisposed to adventure and the treasures the world has to offer, be it riches, knowledge, or what have you.
Designed with a goal
The Iedan were created with an idea in mind, and can find themselves drawn to a life of exploration and discovery. They can usually ignore the impulse, but If something is unknown or an enigma to them, they may stop at nothing to understand it. Centuries wasted on a single subject were centuries well spent if the Iedan in question learned from it.
Iedan names
The Iedan generally name themselves after the mineral they look like, sometimes taking a nickname if they know another Iedan of the same composition, or if their composition's name is on the lengthier side.

Designed to Recover
The memories of an Iedan are stored throughout its body, a lost limb means a loss of much of that Iedan's memory. By design, the Iedans' limbs are relatively easily reparable. If one is severed, it can be reattached in a few hours, granted that it's already been retrieved, has not been ground to dust, and the damage was recent.
The reattachment of a limb will allow the Iedan access to the memories held within. However, regenerating a limb does not regenerate the limb's memories. A severed, fractured, or otherwise destroyed head means the same as it would for anyone else: death. The natural resilience of the Iedan does not make them invincible, and they can be slain in the same fashion as everyone else, as there is only so much damage a living creature can take.
