Homebrew Xochi Species Details

The Xochi resemble humanoid salamanders or axolotls. By retaining their youthful state, they can readily and rapidly heal from most injuries. Their native habitat is the hidden hot springs within mountain ranges in Natura and Halcya. Due to the reclusive, protected and harsh nature of these warm areas, the Xochi do not have to deal with many threats, and are generally a very peaceful, calm folk. Some have opened resorts in their hot springs where other folk can come and visit, enjoying the rejuvenating minerals of the baths. They also possess a strong tradition of music called Jazz, with many Xochi practicing brass instruments as children, with some becoming quite skilled musicians. Most Xochi encountered outside of the hot springs are traveling musicians, or adventuring bards.
