Homebrew Azuralite Species Details

Scattered throughout the world, azuralites evoke fear and wonder. Many azuralites aren’t even native to the Material Plane. They hail from a world beyond — from the magical lands of Kivastora.

In a world both strange and alien, azuralites treat everyone with suspicion as they try to find a way to get back to Kivastora.

Blue and Feathered

Blue skin cover their bodies, with huge white feathered wings. Some azuralite will dye the colour of their wings for practical(colours for stealth) or fashion(bright colours) purposes.

Sky Wardens

Nowhere are the azuralites more comfortable than in the sky. They can spend hours in the air, and some go as long as days, locking their wings in place and letting the thermals hold them aloft. In battle, they prove dynamic and acrobatic fliers, moving with remarkable speed and grace, diving to lash opponents with weapons or magic before turning and flying away.

 

Homelands

Most azuralites live in the Lands of Kivastora. Living atop Mt Yossoeden the azuralites live separated from the rest of the races still recovering from a 400 year old war that nearly wiped the Azuralites from existence.

Dark magic from Grothgar's Void has unleashed unpredictable chaos on the lands with dimensional rifts appearing all over. Through these rifts azuralites are unwittingly being pulled through to the Material Plane.

 

Azuralite Names

Before decimation of the azuralite race, azuralite nobles would have family name/nobility name as well as their birth name. After the war, it is most common for an azuralite to only have one name as most of the nobles died fighting in the war.

An azuralite of either gender may have one of these short names: Benna'ka, Ye'mep, Rs'ata, Dinwae, Xylcas, Teq'orr, Va'wae 

AZURALITE BACKGROUNDS
