Sons of Kyth

Description

ong ago there was a great war on the Ethereal borders. Slaves rebelled against their masters and their leader was the Great Kyth.

These sons and daughters fought for their freedom, and won, but at a great cost. Kyth was utterly destroyed in the battle, consumed as if he never existed.

The former male and female slaves had always been kept in separate housing far from another. So, when the final backlash of titanic magical energy ripped the fabric of existence they were once again cast far from one another.

Over millennium the Sons of Kyth developed great skill at the Arcanist arts and traveled the planes in search of what had happened to their great father Kyth.

As they travelled, they became one with the planes around them, and their appearances changed to reflect their new power.

Finally, they were reunited with their sisters, but too late, for the female of the species had made a horrible and unforgivable mistake. They believed Kyth had been female and had bent their lives toward the ways of Celestial Magic.

So, the debate began, and though the two are one race they no longer have the same history. Neither side is willing to give in as to the true identity of Kyth.

Sons of Kyth are very long lived, it is speculated they can endure for thousands of years powered by the magic they manipulate.

Makeup Requirements

Sons of Kyth have drab green/olive to coppery brown skin with dark highlights. The Sons of Kyth’s hair is usually a dark color but may be any natural color. Sons of Kyth have serrated ears as well. Nose prosthetics to make the players nostrils appear as slits are also encouraged.

Sons of Kyth tend to wear costuming of a flowing nature, often adorned with magical symbols or glyphs. They also often cover their bodies with a cloak or hood to cover their obviously alien nature.

Inherent Advantages

Because of their otherworldly origins, Sons of Kyth have been exposed to the powerful ethereal forces of their hidden homeland. Thus, Sons of Kyth may purchase the skill Resist Celestial Magic up to 5 times regardless of their profession.

Sons of Kyth who learn Arcanist magic as their primary magic gain a special bonus of an additional spell at each level of magic they have learned. For example, if a son of Kyth has a 4,3,2,1 primary Arcanist column they may cast 5,4,3,2 spells. These bonus spells MUST be an Arcanist only spell.

Their special knowledge of Ethereal magic allows Sons of Kyth to purchase the Arcanist Arts skill for half skill point cost, rounded up.

Inherent Disadvantages

Sons of Kyth are completely unable to learn any Terrestrial Arts skills.

Further so powerful is the Sons of Kyth’s pull toward Arcanist magic that they can never learn the Celestial Arts skill.

Sons and Daughters of Kyth can be great fun to role-play. Though they are technically the same race they have traveled in two completely different directions, and as such can no longer agree on their shared past. So strong is this that though violence is typically forbidden against one another, long, and sometimes very loud heated debates are common. All this strife over whether Kyth was male or female.

They also may not purchase the Nobility skill

Note: All players wishing to start a daughter of Kith must have achieved enough experience to be at minimum Level 10 before creating one of these beings. See a Marshall or Staff on the ways this can be achieved.

Note: You must have a Marshall’s approval to play this race!
