Homebrew Echlipsonn Species Details

It would be easy to mistake an Echlipsonn for nothing more than a tall human. Sharing many similarities in physical appearance, the Echlipsonn look almost exactly like humans with only a few biological differences. All Echlipsonn have a shade of brown hair and blue eyes and stand at height of 6 ft. 2 in. Up to 7 ft. tall.

Intellectually gifted
Many are not even aware of the existence of this elusive race, but those who do like to refer to them as the “Blue Elves” Being naturally intelligent, they tend to be innovative and inquisitive with some even having a tendency to study anything new the come across, breaking it down or watching it in action to see how it works. Many Echlipsonn tend to exploit magic to fuel their passions and sometimes fuel their creations. Some believe that the Echlipsonn could have been the first artificers, responsible for ancient constructs and technologies. 

Secret Society
Echlipsonn have many hidden enclaves underground where they work together, but these communities are very xenophobic. Ancient fables tell of wars between them and an unknown opponent ending with the Echlipsonn being almost wiped out before retreating underground. While these groups are distrusting of outsiders, many are driven by wanderlust or their inquisitive nature to seek more in the world and learn from the surface societies. Most Echlipsonn tend to work independently from the rest of their race, preferring to blend into other societies and working to meet the needs of themselves or to better a larger community.
