Homebrew Entler Species Details

To live for their community and to built a life around nature and the worship of the Archfey Majora* : this is the life of an Entler. A binding ritual that took place generations ago infused the essence of Majora -The Sovereign of the Swarming Court- into their bloodline, resulting in their appearance. All the Entlers born ever since bear a resemblance to the subjects of the Swarming Court -including insects and arachnids- and have a deep connection to the Archfey herself. 

 

Archfey Descent

Entlers are derived from humanoid bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look humanoid. However, their fey heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Entlers have large horns that take any of a variety of shapes: some have single horns like a beetle, others have straight and furry horns like a moth’s, and some are inspired by spiders' and insects' bodies. Very few of them have tails however a few of them have wings. Their canine teeth are sharply pointed, and their eyes are usually  black, red, yellow, blue, white, silver, or gold. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include various shades of red, blue, yellow and green. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is usually dark, from black or brown to dark red, blue, or purple. 

Secluded life

The Entlers live in seclusion. They live far away from human civilizations. They have their own cities or small settlements in most of the major forests. Sometimes living in the trees, sometimes underground, they adapt to their surroundings easily, they are survivors. They are great hunters, druids and healers.
Their organization is similar to the insects' ones. Either like a anthill or a beehive, they always have a Queen to follow. All Entlers have a role to play in the wellbeing of their community and are trusted to accomplish it. 

When in the outside world, Entlers are discreet. They do not wish to be seen or acknowledged. Their existence is but a legend and they try to keep it that way. 

Tiefling Passing

People tend to think Entlers to be the same as Tieflings of Infernal Heritage. Which they are not, even though they look like them, the Entlers' heritage is Fey. 
Shopkeepers and common folks react to Entlers the same way they would greet a Tiefling. The Entlers, who usually live in secluded places and avoid contact with other civilisations, do not really understand the very origin of the mistrust. They will use this resemblance to Tieflings to hide their true origin.
