Homebrew Dranassar Species Details

When the Betrayer Gods were freed from their planar prison, the divine Strife Emperor revealed himself to the Dranassar, and they were enthralled by his fell power.  Many of the Dranassar followed him willingly, and their great kingdom of Ghor Dranas became the seat of the Betrayers' power. Those who opposed the emperor were forcibly bent to his will. When the Strife Emperor's armies needed skirmishers, he corrupted his Dranassar Slaves into tiny goblins. When he needed new legions, he twisted them into hobgoblins. When he needed spies, they became bugbears.

The Calamity has long since ended, but the effects of the Strife Emperor's subjugation of the Dranassar still haunt Exandria. The goblinkin on Tal'Dorei are the descendants of the armies who failed to dominate the new continent. Only a handful of Dranassar remain in Tal'Dorei, though they are more plentiful in Wildemount, where the ruins of Ghor Dranas still loom across its jagged peaks. Those that remain in Tal'Dorei, live alone in the shadows, or in small communities hiding their true identities from the world, trying in vain to cleanse their twisted kin of the Curse of Strife.
