Fetchling / Silhouettes
Use rules for Fetchling
Mysterious monochromatic people originally from the Longshadow. Stoic and introverted, with a variety of unique traits... from luminous pupil-less eyes to hair that seem to bend sunrays and shape shadows. Their most notable feature is their skin which is always a warmthless shade of gray, ranging from piercingly bright to an uncanny dark. While many fear all Silhouettes are sinister beings due to their unusual and sometimes unnerving appearance, Silhouettes can have a variety of alignments and viewpoints as varied as any other people. Some have a bad habit of seeing other ancestries as soft or unappreciative of how much comfort and safety is in the rest of Terra in comparison to the Longshadow and the deep desert. Their innate skills include an almost unnatural flexibility and an instinctual ability to manipulate light and darkness. The strange and unusual aspects of their appearance can sometimes cause them to be confused for aasimars or tieflings. While originally few in number, Silhouette traits do not seem to fade over the course of generations and a human mother with a single distant Silhouette ancestor has a small chance to give birth to a fullblooded Silhouette child. While there are certain all Silhouette communities it is more common to see them intermingling in human society.
Silhouettes are most commonly found in the Great Desert, especially in the deeper regions where the barrier between Gyea and the LongShadow is the thinnest. Their bloodlines frequently interwoven with the great tribes and nations of that unforgiving landscape. Their ability to navigate through the Longshadow to cover vast distances are invaluable in the treacherous deserts and a Silhouette guide could be the difference between life and death. Those native to the Great Desert have immense respect for the Silhouettes and having Silhouette blood is seen by some as a sign of greatness. Many site the title of Lumen used by the Pyr'a as a sign of the SIlhouette's value, reputation, and respect within desert culture.
