[QUOTE="Khaalis, post: 4393526, member: 2167"] [color=royalblue][b][size=3]MORPHYR[/size][/b][/color] The morphyr are a race of tiny winged fey. They make excellent spies and have served both Courts in this capacity. They are often overlooked by larger fey who think them delicate and incapable of difficult tasks. This is, in fact, far from the truth. They are considered masters of poison due in part to the fact that their saliva is a potent sleep poison, making them quite dangerous. Many are masters of enchantment and mind magic; capable of bending the will of those around them. Their magic is potent enough on its own but many of their enemies underestimate them; giving them more advantage. Beyond enchantment, they are also known for their stealth and ability to hide in plain sight—whether it is their size or magic or a combination thereof is open to debate. Masters of stealth and camouflage, one never knows when a morphyr might be nearby listening. They are ruled by a hereditary monarchy which prides itself on remaining as neutral as possible with the High Courts of Faerie. Play a morphy if you want… ✦ To be a mysterious fey creature. ✦ To be tiny and have the ability to fly. ✦ To be a member of a race that favors the bard, rogue, ranger, and warlock classes (as well as possible later released Primal classes).
