Homebrew Kronan Species Details

Stone Born
All Kronans are born of stone found on the Elemental Plane of Earth via the Ritual of Birth. When a Kronan decides they want a child, they must journey to the Great Dismal Delve, seek the blessing of a Dao by giving it an offering, and then perform the Ritual of Birth. A process by which a Kronan breaks off a piece of themselves, gathers stone and lays out the new form of the body around this piece, submerges it in a lake of lava, then performs a three day ritual with the help of at least 2 other Kronan. The blessing of the Dao, the latent magic of the Elemental Plane of Earth, and the intense heat of the lava meld the stone together forming the body of the Kronan. The three day ritual transforms the broken piece of the Kronan parent into a hardened diamond which resides at the core of the Kronan containing the new soul of the Kronan.
The diamond within the Kronan is sought after by some as it very valuable for arcane research and crafting of legendary magic items.

Kronan Family and Society
Because Kronans reproduce asexually, the family unit is based on those who participate in the Ritual of Birth. The Kronan that gives a piece of themselves is considered the parent. Multiple Kronans can offer a piece, which is not uncommon, resulting in multiple parents. The other Kronans involved in the ritual, regardless of relation to the parent, is considered to be a cousin. Siblings are Kronans who share at least one piece of a Kronan in common with another. It is not uncommon for sibling to have different cousins.

Kronan are very focused on the family structure and the bond is almost as strong as the bond that holds an individual Kronan together. Because of these, many Kronan do not care if a member of the family unit is a direct relation to them, the revere them as family regardless. It is not uncommon for an entire Kronan community to be comprised of a single family unit.

Kronan Names
A Kronan name is almost always a mix of their parent's names resulting in almost every Kronan having a unique name. Siblings have their names arranged in a different order.

Kronan names are not linked to their gender since, they have no reproductive organs, they have no gender, because of this they find societies with gender roles puzzling. For a Kronan, the person who is best at a role should be the person who does it.
