Dranaar

A subrace of transformed tieflings that were affected by the Planar Clash, more specifically the Elemental Plane of Spirit and the magic from it that imbued the tieflings.

The Planar Clash
When the Planar Pillars collapsed and the Elemental Planes fell into the Material Plane, tieflings who resided in areas where the Elemental Plane of Spirit tore into, became sick. The magic was too light for their infernal bodies, and all succumbed to the sickness. But this was not the end for them, as they experienced radical bodily changes.

The magic changed them and purge the infernal blood from their veins. Instead it filled them with Spirit, turning their skin blue and filling out their forms. The new Dranaar came back to life with an adjusted sense of honour and law.

Steadfast and ready to gain the trust of the other races, the dranaar proved themselves worthy by fighting fiends and demons by the Archons' sides.

The Dranaar have a harsh history with Tieflings, as tieflings are jealous of the purge of the infernal blood, and the dranaar believe the tieflings lack honour.

Names
Due to the dranaar's tiefling heritage, the way tieflings use names has been passed down to dranaar culture. To separate themselves from their fiendishly cousins, they take Celestial names instead of Infernal. Some dranaar even take on so called "virtue" names, a sort of additional name that reflect their values. Many dranaar believe they have a specific purpose, and this is often reflected in their virtue name.

Male names: Araam, Eocas, Haronan, Kilmir, Maras, Toraan, Vorris

Female names: Avari, Elrah, Farin, Khalaena, Nesaraa, Pheora, Trisehi

"Virtue" names: Brave, Castleguard, Justice, Honor, Oathkeeper, Valiant

Appearance
Dranaar are almost the perfect copies of their tiefling cousins, except their colours go more towards the holy Celestials than the devilish Infernals. They are also wider.

Derived from the tieflings blood, they look just like them. However, their tiefling heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Dranaar females have large horns that take any shape, for example: curling horns like those of a ram, straight and tall horns like a gazelle, upwards spiralling like antelope's. Meanwhile, the Dranaar males have plated foreheads and only small straight horns.

They have thick tails, shorter than tieflings at only ca 80 cm, which are stronger but still whip around. Their eyes are solid colours - blue, white, silver, or gold - with no pupils.Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but more so various shades of blue. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is usually dark, from black or brown to dark red, blue or purple. They also have protrusions like tails from their cheekbones, males more than females.

Age
Dranaar age as tieflings do, with a slightly longer lifespan than humans at just above 100 years. They also decay slower, and they only just feel old in their late 90s.

Personality
Dranaar have a strong sense of honor and many would rather die than commit an evil deed or betray a friend. Even when they fight, they fight with honor.

They believe in law and order in everything above all else; law of the city, the faith, or of nature. Many become paladins or clerics to defend these laws, believing it their purpose. Dranaar are more inclined to fighting with weapons, still using their magic to imbue themselves.
