Dynitians

Dynitians They can claim no home and no story. Their origin is obscure and unknown. Just as one is treated with suspicion outside their own lands, they are treated with suspicion everywhere they go. They are said to be beings born of Ladocs, but stricken with mortality. The Tira Vellans view them as the progeny of Argothic beings. They do not have their own language, nor their own customs; they seek to blend in wherever they are. Some choose to live as hermits, away from society, but they live alone. They are not a social people, if they can be considered a unified people at all. They have a uniform distribution, but are quite rare, making up a fraction of a per cent of the population.
Most have names descending from their host culture, but some opt to take Elven names or even nonsense names they simply like the sound of. Their appearances can vary wildly: their skin can be red, blue, green, orange, even black. They may have horns or antlers; their hair may move on its own, drawn upward as if constantly affected by static electricity, or they may have no hair at all. Their eyes, and sometimes their hair, horns, even bodies, emit a faint glow, most commonly a warm yellow, but other colours are not uncommon.
