Raedeen: Difference between revisions

The ancient avadri have vestigial traces of power throughout the known universe.  The world of Ancerra is rich with these slivers of power.  Sometimes, under rare circumstances, this legacy manifests as a living humanoid entity, something between a magical artifact and a breathing biological person. These are the raedeen - sapient traces of powers long forgotten. Raedeen are often quiet and contemplative, in constant communion with slivers of avadri tech all around them.  All raedeen, regardless of relationship with avadri tech, are driven by the need to protect.  Whether that be their friends, a location, or a warped ideal, they remain steadfast due to remnants of a long-forgotten directive.  Rarely will a raedeen place their own safety above that of others, and even more their friends.

A marriage between psionic technology and biological flesh, raedeen forms carry immense latent magical powers.  They are born to any flesh-and-blood race, but are implanted with the vestiges of avadri technology.  Some cultures, such as the Elves of the Plains, take these features as blessings, as they attune the raedeen to the dormant avadri technology across the planet.  Others, however, view them in a more critical light, ostracizing raedeen due to the magical incidents that often happen around their uncontrolled powers.  Their sensitivity to magic and excellent perception abilities lend them easily towards tracking or looting roles, but this also makes them incredibly susceptible to strong psionic attacks and psychic manipulation.
