The Drajar
The Drajar is an offshoot of the human race. They are the descendants of human slaves Drow and Duergar captured and took to the Underdark. Over the centuries of their enslavement and isolation from the surface world they have evolved into a similar yet different species altogether. The Drow began a breeding program to create a large enough labor force to keep from having to raid the surface every time they needed more slaves. The Drow were successful in their attempt, but what they did not count on was the human’s knack for adaptability and the Drajar was born.
Centuries of enslavement passed before the Drajar began revolting against their masters. It took many years and many attempts but eventually the Drajar were able to free themselves.
After they recovered the Drow went on a massive campaign to wipe the Drajar out. But they were unsuccessful in that endeavor, despite the general sentiment that the Drajar are now gone. But there are rumors in the lower ranks of Drow society that the Drajar still exist.
Personality
The Drajar tend to be shy and very secretive about their society. But they can and will open up to people they can trust. Drajar make friends for life, and people who become friends with Drajar often count them amongst their greatest friends and allies.
Physical description
The Drajar are a humanoid race very similar to humans in appearance. A typical Drajar has milky white skin, and no eyes. Where the eyes on a normal humanoid would be there is a slab of black skin stretching across the face. Their hair can be of any color, though many choose to shave their heads. All their other features resemble that of humans.
The Drajar have a unique adaptation that helps them to survive in the underdark. They have lost the use of their eyes, but have developed a new organ located where you would usually find eyes. This organ allows them to sense their surrounding. It is thought that this organ allows them to create a perfect mental image of their surrounding in their brain. Which grants them near perfect mental map of their surroundings.
Alignment
Drajar can be found of any alignment.
Relations
Drajar hate Drow for they enlsaved them and wiped out a large portion of their population. They have had limited contact with the Svirfneblin. All other races they treat with distrust, but they can open up to others, especially those who perform a service for their village.
Drajar lands
Drajar live in the underdark, they live in secluded and hidden caverns. They have been known to send parties into dangerous places of the underdark in an effort to establish new colonies.
Each Drajar colony is independent from the others, they rarely come into contact with each other and never share the location with others. Those that do know the whereabouts of a Drajar colony more than likely stumbled onto it while searching for something else.
Religion
Nothing is currently known about Drajar religion.
