Homebrew Ekonorian Species Details

Origins

The chaotic energies of Ekonor transformed the Ruhardian ancestors who travelled to Ekonor during the first era, creating the race of beings now known as Ekonorians. When travel between Zenith Realms became restricted, the Ruhardians trapped in Ekonor survived purely under the guide of Daphari, who at the time was a caring and loving denizen of chaos. The survivors formed close-knit communities, but due to their small number, they never managed to populate as much as the Ruhardians did. To this day, the number peaks at five thousand, with more than half of them residing in mountainous areas surrounding Citadel Obscura. When Daphari was attacked by her brother under the command of Adhina, Daphari sequestered a part of herself to hide within Ekonor, sealing herself and the Ekonorians who had sided with her within Citadel Obscura for good. Several years after she vanished, a chaos dragon appeared, preventing further approaching the Citadel. It is said that entrance can only be acquired by feeding this dragon chaos seeds, though this is a superstitious hearsay at most.

Ekonorians are characterized by their chaotic alignment, shaped by the tumultuous magic of their land. Though not inherently evil, they unilaterally hold contentment for their ancestral origins, wishing nothing more than for the Citadel to open once more and for Daphari to return to her people. Followers of this movement are called Daphators, and they believe that if enough seeds of chaos were collected, Daphari could return.

Physical Appearance

Ekonorians are tall, typically 6 to 9 feet, with a lean and muscular build adapted to their harsh environment. They share some similarities with their long-lost Ruhardian ancestors, and their skin comes in various colours: earth tones, deep blues, and vibrant purples, often with a shimmering effect.

Facial Features

The facial structure of an Ekonorian is elongated with sharp, angular features. Their large, glowing eyes are a notable trait, which may change colours based on their emotions or surrounding energies. Pointed ears of varying lengths further accentuate their ethereal look.

Markings and Tattoos

Markings are pivotal to Ekonorian identity, including tattoos, scars, and natural luminescent patterns. Once, Ekonorians possessed horns that grew from their foreheads, much like their Ruahrdian counterparts. Over time, these horns shrunk due to the overwhelming energies of Ekonor, and Ekonorians evolved to possess full-body markings and tattoos instead that replaced the horn's functions: conducting chaos. Besides their acting as bio-magical circuits for chaos, these tattoos are rich in symbolism. Reflecting bloodlines, magical affinities, or significant achievements, the markings of an Ekonorian often tells the story of their hardships.

Attire and Accessories

Ekonorians wear practical yet expressive clothing, primarily made from durable beast hides and adorned with corrosion-resistant metals. Their accessories, crafted from enchanted materials native to Ekonor, often enhance their magical abilities or protect against chaotic energies.

Cultural Traits

Ekonorians value strength, adaptability, and the skill to wield the chaos around them. Their society is built on resilience and the capacity for formidable combat and profound, complex social interactions.

Usurper of Law

You can bend reality to your will in your moment of need. As a reaction, which you take when you or an ally you can see within 60 feet of you perform a saving throw, you apply your proficiency modifier to the roll, potentially changing the outcome. Once you do so, you must finish a long rest before you can use this trait again.

Any time before you regain the use of this trait, the DM can have you roll a d100 using the table below after you fail a saving throw. You then regain the use of this trait.
