Neblin
Neblin (both singular and plural), also knowns as keibles, svrifs or mistic gnomes, are the smallest and least powerful form of the Irdakoth. As descendants of the Kothogor, neblin are related to sprigins and goblins.
Neblin, like other Irdakoth, are sensative to the movement of magical energies. They are also pretanaturally skilled at manipulating those energies, and can use them to hide themselves when they wish to avoid being seen.

Physical Description
Neblin are small of stature, generally standing just over 3 feet in height. Their skin is a pale blue-grey, and their hair is usually white or silver in color. Their eyes range anywhere from a sky blue to a deep forest green. Their facial features tend to vary widely, with proportions that often don't match the norm of other humanoid races. Many have overly large mouths and eyes, an effect which can be both disturbing and stunning, depending on the individual. Others may have extremely small features spread over an otherwise blank expanse of face, or may mix shockingly large eyes with a tiny, pursed mouth and a pert button of a nose. Neblin rarely accentuate their appearance, and their clothing tends to be simple and drab. They seem generally disdain being noticed.Society
Neblins are reclusive and mysterious, and have something of a sinister reputation. People tend to treat them courteously, in order to prevent their homes being overrun by rats, or to have their crops become blighted, or their stores turned to ruin. Such fear-based courtesy also drives resentment, and few neblin are truly embraced or accepted by those outside the mistic forests of the Urda.Relations

This racial trait replaces mistic foresight.
