Homebrew Elynkin Species Details
A race descended from the elk of the deep forests in the Feywild. They look elvish in nature, but they have antlers usually ornamented with beads and trinkets depending on their achievements in their lifetime. Male Elynkin have thicker antlers that point up while females have thinner antlers that point out. They wear little clothing. Pants are generally made of a soft cotton fabric. Shoes are made of leather. Shirts are usually replaced with capes and shawls made of silk or cotton. Their skin is generally tan. Their hair is usually short and a mixture between brown to blonde. They are simple people that live simple lives.
Elynkin live in interconnected tribes that look for ways to heal the wounds of the world. Their tribes are always on the move and never stay in the same place unless nature calls. Most travel from the Feywild into the over world due to cultural obligations. They are usually sent out on either scouting missions, diplomatic missions, or healing missions. Some can take a week, and others can take a few years. They don't mind being seen by those from the over world, but some like to keep their visits secret.
