Obsidril
The Obsidril, created as the brother race of the Ilriliad, have always exhibited dark tendencies. Initially allying with the Blighted, their alignment has shifted under new leadership, temporarily suppressing their darker inclinations. Divided among three kingdoms, the future of the Obsidril remains uncertain, leaving many questioning what lies ahead.
Standing between 5 to 10 feet tall, the Obsidril possess formidable and muscular physiques, making them a force to be reckoned with. Their skin is fused with obsidian fibers, providing exceptional durability that makes it extremely challenging to pierce. With the ability to rapidly master lightning and psionic magic, they become formidable adversaries, capable of manipulating minds and unleashing devastating electrical attacks.
Similar to humans, the Obsidril have established a medieval-like society where the streets teem with peasants, and the nobility dominates the social structure. Leadership among the Obsidril is typically determined by bloodline, with rulership passed down through generations. However, in the holy states, the ruler is selected through the reading of their oracle, an esteemed and revered individual believed to possess prophetic insights. It is widely believed that a future king will emerge, destined to bring the Obsidril back to a position of dominance, subjugating all opposing forces.
The Obsidril society is known for its strict hierarchical structure, with the nobility holding significant power and influence. The streets bustle with a range of artisans, merchants, and workers, while the noble houses vie for control and political maneuvering behind closed doors. While their darker tendencies have been subdued, a subtle undercurrent of intrigue and power struggles persists within the Obsidril kingdoms.
Within their military, the Obsidril boast formidable warriors and battle mages who harness their mastery of lightning and psionic magic to devastating effect on the battlefield. Their combination of physical strength, magical prowess, and unyielding determination make them formidable opponents in any conflict.
The future of the Obsidril hangs in the balance, poised between their dark heritage and the potential for redemption. The suppressed tendencies within their society could resurface, leading them down a path of darkness and chaos, or they could embrace a new era of unity and harmony, forging a future that honors both their inherent strengths and their capacity for growth and redemption. The choices made by their leaders and the internal dynamics within the Obsidril will ultimately shape their destiny in the realm.

One of two races created by the God Ixmos. He wanted to create two races that lived in harmony together as the other races were at each others throats. That didn't happen as they turned out to be opposites of each other. Obsidril developed more darker and sinister tendencies. Becoming the only ally of the Blighted during the Age of Sin causing nothing but pain and suffering to their brother race. After the defeat of the blighted new leadership was put into control to dampen their dark tendencies and the kingdom was split in two. Later a civil war broke out in one of the kingdoms now forming a third. Some believe that a new sinister kingdom will rise and rule while others believe they may finally live in harmony with their brother race Ilriliad.
