Vedalken

Vedalken are the dominant race in the continent of Dalvia, creatotors of the Warforged, and infamously considered as the cause of its sorry state. More technically advanced than their peers and inventors of unbelievable arcane applications, who knows what the Vedalken could do, if Dalvia would join to the frey with Umeros, Thandar and Velkas.

History

Origin Myth

The most closest thing that vedalken have as a creation myth, is the story about the Slaver Gods & the Golden Teachers. Vedalkens believe that long ago, they were created as slaves for an entity, that came from the darkest depths. This being was cruel and used vedalken as slaves to mould by its whims. Worshipped by the priest with squid-like masks, this great entity kept vedalken without any own thoughts, until the Golden Teachers came.

The Golden Teacher came from a tear in the sky, coming to teach vedalkens to think and together they fought off and killed the Slaver Gods and their minions. After ensuring the vedalken were ready to forge their own path, Golden Teachers flew back to the skies, with only one wish; that if ever the Slaver Gods would come back, the vedalken would make them perish once again.

Physique

Below you find tables to help determine your character's basic physique.

Height

Here you can find the height chart(s) for the species. Notice that "very short" and "very tall" are beyond average height scope. Feel free to push size beyond these measurements, if required. Heights are loosely based on the official DnD lore, rulebooks and other material, but might have been altered drastically.

Weight

Below you find the weight modifiers for the species to calculate the estimated weight. The numbers are based on DnD lore, rulebooks and other material, and edited for added variation and changed to something that resembles a BMI (wouldn't recommend using them as a health guide though). On the side, you have a calculator to figure out the weight.

Note: Vedalken have naturally very small variation on their weight and are lighter build than humans. They are much thinner than would be healthy for a human, even if their height might be comparable. Measurements are for full-grown individuals.

In the case of vedalken, there is no significant size variation among males and females.
