Half-krolvin

Half-krolvin Decay Timer 13 minutes Spirit Regeneration 1 per 4 min, ×2 on node Height 5' to 5.5', 6' max Weight 100 to 300 lbs. Languages Common, Krolvin

Half-Krolvin most often wear their heritage in their bodies, an undeniable badge of identification. Most half-krolvin have pale skin, but their skin tones are within the range considered "normal" on a human, except that they often support a blue or blue-grey tinge, as on a human who has been overexposed to the cold. They also tend to be hairier than the average human, and much hairier than the average elf. Many half-krolvin tend to have disproportionately long arms ending in long hands with elongated fingers and swollen-looking knuckles.

Often the elegance and delicacy of their fingers is remarked on, along with some comment as to how the swollen knuckles mar the beauty of the hand. Also, in profile it becomes apparent that the foreheads of half-krolvins tend to slope backward into the hairline and they often have a concave chin shape. The most obvious attribute that is used to prove half-krolvin heritage is a hair growth from the top four vertebrae of the spine. This is obviously easy to cover with clothing in most circumstances, but can be construed as damning evidence if a being's heritage is called into question for having krolvin blood.

Background

The main population of half-krolvin originates from the icy colony of Krint, where the krolvin slaver Krintaur interbred krolvin with humans and giantmen for his personal army. In time, the half-krolvin banded into organized clans, known as klinasts, and overthrew their masters. The original bloodlines are still viewed with pride by the Pla'dush gno Krint, who see themselves as having the best of both heritages. Outside of Krint, some half-krolvin are born of isolated relationships between krolvin (or half-krol) and non-krolvin. These Pla'dushte gno Krol are only allowed to marry into the bloodlines in rare circumstances, after proving their worth and loyalty.

The half-krolvin of Krint worship the traditional gods of the krol, foremost of whom is the Three-Faced God Khar'ta, ruler of the oceans. Each klinast also has its own patrons.
