Homebrew Cornel Species Details

Hailing from sequestered farmlands in the south,  the cornel, sometimes called cornpeople or cornfolk, evoke a sense of connection to the earth, and sometimes hunger. How the cornel came to be, or what drives their life force is a mystery lost to time, and they are reticent to share their secrets.

They are immigrants, refugees, scouts, and explorers, their outposts functioning as footholds in a world both strange and alien.

Cornel Traits

idk ur ******* corn

Corn!

The cornel appear much as you would expect. Large corncob-like bodies, but with humanoid appendages of legs and arms. They are covered in kernels, which can store excess energy for them to use later.

They are typically shades of strong yellow, although discoloration in their kernals to brown or red is not uncommon. They occasionally retain small roots on their lower halves from their time spent growing in the earth.

 

Tenders of the Earth

The cornel are most comfortable in agriculture, tending to the earth and growing their nutritious foods for themselves, others, and the further growth of their people. In combat, they are especially hardy, having learned to protect themselves from would be predators.

Once a reclusive people, the cornel have begun to branch out, expanding their trade routes and culture to the far reaches of the realms, and learning new agricultural techniques in return. As of late, their people have been struggling to reproduce, and this is a welcome avenue to a remedy.

 

Husking

Most cornel live on farmland, separating themselves into groups they call "Fields". These groups are more for community support, with smaller units of families, or "Crops" comprising their day to day activities.

Once a Field has taken root somewhere, they will defend that land relentlessly, as they know that their harvests are their best bet at continued survival and growth.

A typical Field consists of less than 100 cornel. The eldest acts as leader with the support of a shaman.
