Homebrew Eldís Species Details

The reclusive Eldís are very peculiar looking creatures. They are tall, bony, and pale blue skinned. Their features are sharp, yet attractive. They have sharp jawlines, pixie noses, and hair that is normally one of three colors, strawberry blond, whitish blonde, or ebony black. Their eyes are nearly always coal black or icy blue. Eldís are of very thin and tall build, often ranging from 80-120 pounds. Their muscles are hardly existent, but what they lack in strength, they make up for in intelligence, survival skills, and arcane magic, particularly summoning. They are known to summon beasts of the ice, which is a spell that only the Eldís can posses. The Eldís are native to mountainous, icy regions, and cannot live without the ice. For this reason, they stay northern bound. Oftentimes, they are clothed sparingly, save it be for a loincloth or other small piece of clothing. 

The Eldís have no enemies in particular, but they do hate any people who are terrible to the environment. They rarely venture outside of their icy lands due to the vows they made to their God and Goddess to protect their lands, but those who do work as ambassadors and mercenaries, protecting their icy lands by speaking out and fighting for the ice. They are gifted in shipbuilding, and for that reason they often dwell upon the coast. Their ships are prized near and far, and they money and resources they earn are enough to make them a wealthy people, but they don't want the wealth, for the way of their people is to protect the ice. They also make incredible weapons, specifically scimitars. They are skilled survivalists, especially in the cold. They love their religion, and are extremely religious people. They avoid contact with other people as to preserve their lands and their culture. They live in log or ice homes in towns of about 500-800 people, with 10 in each household. They often live in a caveman like style, appreciating the simple things. Some other occupations often taken on by Eldís are blacksmiths, hunters, gatherers, priests, fishermen, and shipbuilders. 

They are weakened by hot weather, and may need longer rests after such experiences. 

They are often known as the "ice bitten people" due to their blueish complexion.
