Cyseru

Cyseru display the similar traits to thier homeland of Locus'Autem. They have a shadowy influence through monochrome complexions, glowing eyes, and the casting of supernatural shadows. Cyseru are a striking people whose skin appears entirely drained of color. These lithe and shadowy beings seem to sink and vanish into the gloom. They see in darkness, exercise control over shadows, and have strange occult powers. Some cyseru develop their powers enough to pass between the planes, leaving other ancestries to whisper about figures that emerge from shaded corners and then vanish without a trace. Through magic and other means, they’ve spread across Eliosara and the planes beyond, as adaptable as the humans they are rumored to have once been.

Their skin tones fall on a monochromatic scale from stark white to deep black, and all the shades of gray between. Their bodies are just as diverse in shape and size as humans, though most display a certain fluidity of motion reminiscent of shifting shadows. Cyseru’s reflective, pupilless eyes can pierce darkness. A cyseru’s most notable feature is their shadow, which almost never faithfully reflects their body. Instead, cyseru shadows might have incongruous shapes or sizes, while others flicker, move of their own accord, or imitate the shadow of another nearby creature.

A culture of survival passed down through generations means many cyseru prefer to maintain a cautious worldview and adapt to prevailing circumstances. Locus’Autem is a dangerous place, and often Cyseru only form small groups and clans, seeking the safety of the mountain caverns. Some, however, have been able live out their days the necropolis’ of Scion & Godgrave. The denizens of The Dim, however, are not so blessed, as the Kayal have enslaved them.
