Homebrew Eloidian Species Details

Many dont know where the first Eloidian came from, but they very anti-social creatures with a dull since of humor. They are believed to be the spawn of an Elf and a Tiefling. They have small horns on their head that they usually try to hide. They rarely live among other races and are known to live in tribes of up to 40 in the mountains using ropes and pulleys to build their home in the sheer cliffs. They are very agile and jump from cliff face to cliff face, and set traps at the top of mountains as a last ditch effort if they were ever invaded. Eloidians are sometimes cast out of their tribe if they disobey an order or break laws that are set by the Chieftain in order to make sure that weak links dont cause the fall of the tribe.

They are always training in the arcane arts and fighting on the sheer cliffs to always be ready for battle. Most Eloidian are Druids or Rangers but some of the Chieftains guards are adept in fighting. As a result of intense training with each other, Eloidian create strong bonds and will stop at nothing to defend its tribe.

Eloidians share some of the characteristics of a elf and a tiefling. While still having the recognizable pointed ears, they gain protruding horns, which are usually not noticeable and small. They have a grey-ish blue- to black skin with almost any hair color. They stand anywhere from 5 to 6 feet and usually have a small or medium build.
