Beast Folk
Beast Folk
A sub-lineage within the Lineage of Eldyr, the Beast Folk are a collection of races descended from Diiv, with most originating after the notorious Fall of Valoreum, some 5000 years before the present. Believed to be descended from Diiv who had used their blessing for evil, many zealous religions believe them to be cursed or fallen, though you will never find a warmer people to be around, as race seldom impacts the ideals and beliefs of a Beast folk, though most go by their racial names and consider the term Beast Folk to be derogatory or demeaning.
What separates the Beast Folk from their human and elven counterparts is their bodies. Each race is primed and ready to survive in the primeval world of Ethenrea, which is why Beast Folk are the most common races to see in Ethenrea, as Elves and Humans lack the necessary adaptations to thrive.
Elemental Knack
Each Beast Folk race has a knack for a specific elemental magic, often associated with the Vol Nah Ku'uh. See on the table below for what each race gains. Any spell gained from this ability can be used once per Long Rest without using MP.
