Lunar Bearer (5e Race)

Andari, god of the moon, [1]

Description

Lunar Bearers are ethereal beings bound to the silvery glow of the moon. Their bodies seem to emit a faint radiance in darkness, and their eyes reflect the current lunar phase. Although physically similar to other humanoid races, they possess a supernatural grace and a spiritual connection to the night, tides, and the mysteries of the occult.

History

According to legend, the Lunar Bearers were created during the first dawn of the moon. It is said they were born from the light that illuminated the primordial darkness, chosen by the lunar gods to be guides, guardians, and sages. Over millennia, their role in the world has been both revered and feared, as they hold deep knowledge of natural cycles and universal balance. Though they have remained in the shadows of myth, they still walk among mortals, subtly influencing the world's destiny.
