Homebrew Darkling Species Details
The Darkling are a race of shadow plane denizens, spawned by the breeding of shadow demons and Drow. Taken from their Drow mothers, the Darkling are raised on the plane of shadow. They are children of shadow in every sense of the phrase. Much of their early lives are spent mastering the darkness and shadow to the extent that they become one with them and are naturally gifted with Devil Sight, allowing them to see normally through magical darkness. Unlike the Drow, who have issues with sunlight, the Darkling do not. They are not well known outside of the shadow plane, but have been found to frequent the underdark.
