Homebrew Castanic Species Details
Known for their dark, wry humor and bold manner, castanics refuse to be chained to their dark past, and strive each day to forge a new future. Fierce and independent, castanics make superb allies...or deadly enemies. Castanics are willing to work together for the common good, but only so far as the common good doesn't take too long or come at too high a price. Most castanics spurn the gods entirely, believing them not to be worth the trouble they cause and viewing those who depend upon the gods to be too cowardly to seize their own destiny.
