Homebrew Aeloy Species Details
The Aeloy to the number are female and they are all superficially human. They stand 5'11" tall, and have copper red hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and freckles. Genetically they are the same person; however, each of them is an individual, living separate lives and becoming distinct and individual creatures. The Aeloy are cloned on their home plane and then sent through one of the portals to an other worldly settlement. When a newborn Aeloy is sent to another plane, they arrive in a cradle in their settlement and are raised by the community. Their settlement on the prime material plane is in a cave at the base of a mountain along the Sword Coast. They live in a small community, relatively isolated, but travel out to gather information about the plane they are on. The creation of a portal consumes a great amount of energy, and they can only be maintained for moments. The machines that the Aeloy use are implanted into the skull during their gestation period in the cloning vat. They collect the information they seek out on other worlds, and transmit it back to their home when the portals are open. These machines allow the Aeloy to communicate with each other, silently, over vast distances. When they arrived on the Sword Coast, they discovered an interesting effect. The magic that suffused the prime material plane altered the function of their implants and granted them innate psionic abilities.

Timeless Knowledge
It is the nature of the Aeloy implants to store and access knowledge. They are designed for data gathering, storage, and retrieval. As such, there is a chance that someone in your settlement has encountered information on the topic you are discussing. You may make a history check, DC 18. If you succeed, you have information on common events and knowledge of this topic. If the knowledge is particular or extremely obscure, then the DC of this check is instead 20.
Languages
You can speak Common and Thari. Thari is your people's native language from your native plane. There are many words and concepts that are incompatible with common, so they are based in technology, computing, and modes of thought that haven't been yet thought by the peoples of the prime material plane.
