Homebrew fetchling Species Details

Descended from humans who were trapped on the Shadow
Plane. They are creatures of dark and light intertwined,
generations of contact with the strange plane and its
denizens. While they acknowledge their origins, they show
little resemblance to their human ancestors on the Material
Plane. Some take offense to the name of Fetchling, as it was
given by humans who saw them as little more than "fetchers
of rare materials"; they instead prefer to be called "kayal", a
word borrowed from Aklo that roughly translates to "shadow
people" or "dusk dwellers".
Though most call the Shadow Plane home, they often trade
and deal with creatures of the Material Plane -- some going
so far as to create enclaves there in order to establish
alliances and trade routes between Planes. They often serve
as merchants, middlemen, and guides for races on both sides
of the planar boundary
