Trang 1for their size However, the skin of a twilight
gnome is generally blueish green in color due to
the influence of the elemental energies that they are
exposed to on a daily basis Their hair color ranges
from deep blue to earthy brown and their eyes range
from completely black to vibrant shades of blue or
green The rarest of these creatures boasts eyes the
color of crystalline ice
Alignment: While twilight gnomes may
appear to be very chaotic in nature due to their
tendency to move quickly from one idea or task
to another, this tendency does not dominate
their existence Twilight gnomes can be of any
alignment, but tend towards neutral good Their
goal is generally good in nature, but sometimes
the methods they use to accomplish their goals
are of questionable legality, or at the very least
unorthodox
Religion: Since they are beings that have been
changed by their exposure to elemental energies,
they have a tendency to worship those very energies
that helped change them into what they are today In
most major settlements a shrine to the power of elemental water or earth can be found Beyond these elements, there are many twilight gnomes that
pay homage to deities of invention, cleverness and
trickery
Twilight Gnome Lands: The twilight
gnomes are native to the forest that gives them their
name, and the place where the race evolved, the
Twilight Wood While there are small settlements
throughout the northern reaches of the continent
of Slarinca, only in their native wood will one find
large numbers of their kind
Language: Twilight gnomes are descended
from the same ancestors as other gnomes, and thus
speak gnomish
Male Names: Bringdon, Derosin, Kerig,
Prinite, Zurkez
Female Names: Arless, Feril, Kara, Vasha,
Adventures: Twilight gnomes adventure
frequently within the boundaries of their own woods
The Twilight Wood is ever changing, and there are
still many unexplored regions hidden beneath its
canopy Though rare, there is occasionally a gnome
who succumbs by the wanderlust that plagues their
race These individuals seek travel to distant places
and desire to see wondrous things These are the
true adventurers of the race
There are very few races in existence that can claim creation in the same manner as the umbrals Their ancestors were once practically mindless undead creatures, at one with the shadows They were the physical manifestation of strength draining negative energy and dwelled in the Plane of Shadow
In ancient times a race of psychic humans dared
to travel through their domain, and unintelligent though they were, they were incredibly cunning It would only be a matter of time before they feasted
on the life force of those who dared trespass
It was the death of their progenitor Carius that truly gave life to the race The shattering of the onyx gem within his breast that had granted him his power splintered his essence into the shadows nearby Several hundred shadows were transformed into umbrals on that night, beneath the moons Since then their race has grown, now numbering in the tens of thousands across the Illurian Empire They have not forgotten how they were created Nor have they forgotten the history that forced them from the lands they consider their own
Personality: Umbrals tend to be a very
secretive race As individuals they do not trust easily, and are extremely hesitant to allow others into their circle They have been raised to believe that the only reliable beings are their brothers, and that all others will betray them, in time Suspicion has a tendency to cloud their judgement, but they endure all the same, seeing themselves as victims, and angrily trying to climb to the dominance they believe is rightly theirs
Physical Description: With skin ranging
from pitch black to muted gray, they appear much like the creatures their ancestors once were Their bodies are completely hairless from head to toe, giving them an appearance that is generally seen
as strange or alien by those not of their race Males of the race typically stand about 6 feet tall, with females only slightly shorter Their general physical build has more in common with the lean, graceful structure of elves than that of humans
Of all of their physical characteristics, it is the eyes that unnerve people the most Their eyes are
