Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 9144635" data-attributes="member: 57383">Righty-oh, I came up with the following:Description Amiraspian Hybrid is a scholarly name for a people who call themselves Amiraspians, known among common folk as Griffon Riders. The game mechanics presented above are for an ordinary amiraspian hybrid militia member or guard. An amiraspian appears to be a powerfully built human apart from one obvious difference: it has a single eye set in the centre of its face. This eyeball and its socket are a good half again wider than a regular humanoid of its size, but otherwise look extremely human. A typical amiraspian has tan skin, a sea green eye, and jet black hair with a green sheen resembling a raven's wing. Amiraspian hybrids can have any skin tone or hair color possible for a human, plus their hair may have an inhuman green tint or be outright green. Any shade of green found in Nature seems possible: the color of a leaf, frog, treesnake or tropical bird, or even the dark metallic green of a beetle. Descendants of a Cursed Lineage. The origins of this race is tied to the <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/8890557" target="_blank">Amiraspian Cyclops</a>, a monstrous man-eating fey that can only produce more of its kind by cursing a pregnant human woman so they give birth to a cyclops baby. Sometimes these births result in a one-eyed humanoid instead of a fey monstrosity, and these hybrid human-cyclops children became the first amiraspians. Very few modern amiraspian hybrids are escapees from a Cyclops Lair, most are descended from amiraspian parents. While amiraspian cyclopes are always male, amiraspian hybrids can be female as well. Amiraspian women appear to be rarer than the menfolk, but the one-eyed ladies could just be more reclusive. An amiraspian who marries a human can have offspring who are either fully human or normal amiraspian hybrids (equal chance of either), while two amiraspians always have amiraspian hybrid children. As far as is known, amiraspian hybrids cannot have amiraspian cyclops offspring. However, they do have a cautionary tale about a nameless Griffon Rider so wicked and evil his son was born with the Amiraspian Curse. Seemingly normal at first, the child transformed into a <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/8915000" target="_blank">Young Amiraspian Cyclops</a> on his thirteenth birthday and devoured his sinful father. Mountain Fastnesses. Amiraspians live in fortified settlements hidden among the mountains. Each community is largely self-sufficient, meeting most of their needs from nearby mines, alpine meadows and terraced fields. The rocky trails between these villages and towns can be very difficult and hazardous, so the cyclops folk rely on signalling devices and messenger birds for routine communications. The Griffon Riders. Every settlement of note includes a giant mews that can house two or more griffons. These are ridden by elite champions who play several vital roles in the cyclops folk's society, including dealing with strangers. Intruders to Amiraspian territory may spot flying patrols watching them from griffon back. Many visitors only ever interact with these riders and never meet civilian amiraspian hybrids or see their homes. This led outsiders to use "Griffon Rider" as a generic term for Amiraspian, although only a select few amiraspians properly deserve the title.
