Howdy fellow Playgrounders!
Its been a while since I posted anything, so here is a new race, feat to go along with said race, and a prestige class. If ya'll have any ideas for more fluff, feel free to add it too. So without further ado, I present the Teg'hynd for your viewing pleasure.
The Race of the Teg’hynd
The Teg’hynd are a race of quasi-elemental beings who are the chosen descendants of the Elder Elemental gods and inhabit the Teg’hynd Islands. The Teg’hynd are closely related to the Genasi and Half-Elemental races and consider these races to be their “cousins”. Each Teg’hynd is born with an Elemental Affinity which determines their role in society. They are relatively human looking, but often have some sort of trait that reveals their Elemental Affinity. Occasionally, a Teg’hynd will be born with two affinities, and are considered to be blessed by the gods and destined for greatness. Regardless of their role, the Teg’hynd live in a very egalitarian society, where all Teg’hynd are equal citizens.
Air Teg’hynd are lithe and agile creatures who have a wispy air about them and a wit to equal their agility. They often have fair skin and hair, which seems to be in a perpetual state of movement. Air Teg’hynd are generally laid-back and “go where the wind takes them” and are thus the most likely to be seen adventuring. They also make up the majority of the noble class and diplomats of Teg’hynd Society, with the other Teg’hynd making up a smaller percentage.
Earth Teg’hynd are stout and strong creatures who have an innate connection to the earth and a stubbornness equal to that of the Dwarves. They often have darker, tougher skin and coarser hair than their counterparts. Earth Teg’hynd are strong and dependent, but are seen by others as stubborn, slow to react, and “stuck in their ways”. They are rarely seen adventuring as they make up the majority of the working class and craftsmen of Teg’hynd Society.
Fire Teg’hynd are quick and intelligent creatures who emit an inner heat and arrogance. Their eyes often show an inner flame and their hair is often fiery in coloration. Fire Teg’hynd are often brash, hot-headed, and impulsive and are thought of as “passionate to the point of obsessive”. They are natural leaders but can be very unpredictable. They make up a significant population of the military and smiths of Teg’hynd Society.
Water Teg’hynd are adaptable and wise creatures who have a very calm demeanor about them. They have light eyes and their hair seems to have a natural fluidity. They are very graceful and flexible, seeming calm one moment and flying into a tempest in the next. Being so adaptable, the Water Teg’hynd are the most varied of the Teg’hynd in their role in society, but do make up the majority of Seers and Scholars in Teg’hynd Society.
