Homebrew Deep Dweller Species Details

The Deep Dwellers are a race of Humanoids who through the many stages of eveolution have lost their pigmination in their skin, hair, and eyes from their homeland being the underdark of Arconia specifically the areas where no light would touch. As a whole they have magic that has given them an affinity for the elemental Crystal that are found in abundance throughout the underdark. Through this magic they are the pioneers of capture magic that allows them to trap and tame monsters and creatures with a matching affinity to a Arconian Crystal. In more recent years after losing the war against the Drow invaders From Gavantor they have become refugees fleeing the underdark from those who have stole their homeland and enslaved them.
