The Touched

The Touched or Ti'Da'Din are reviled and feared by many. They actually represent two different minorities. The Egg laying sapient races and those believed to be diseased or cursed. Lumped together just due to their physical features and general suspicion of both groups.
The egg laying races of the Avians and Dragonmen are a rare sight in Bellflower and considered bizarre and exotic. Feared mostly due to their differences in appearance and traditions born of their different methods of reproduction. Both have a far more clan based society than nuclear family, and members are less likely to exhibit independent streaks. While lumped in with those considered cursed, they are detailed more on their own pages.
The cursed began to show up a few years after the Plauge of Silmora. Children of dwarves, elves, humans and gnomes were born with strange features. These ranged from horns, tails, odd color skin, rocky skin, and unusual powers. Initially they were put to death as it was feared that they were carriers of the plague manifest. Indeed the Knights of Truth believe them to be religiously deficient and call them to repentance.
