Madilar

The madilar are a secretive and secluded race, related to doppelgangers (Bestiary p. 89). Before the portal between the worlds was created, madilar could only be found on Ianna and even now very few madilar choose to cross over to Terria. They are most commonly known as merchants and traders, sailing the seas of Ianna with their large trading vessels. Their ability to buy and sell any kind of item is the only reason madilar are still tolerated in many of the cities on Ianna. The few madilar that live on Terria rarely reveal their true form: they either live out their lives in solitude or blend into the various human cities, making good use of their abilities to hide what they are.
