It can mean a sexual reproductive parent. But in planar contexts, it more often means a magical transformation of a Material Humanoid. I notice, in the recent descriptions of Aasimar and Ardling, the "descendants" are typically extraplanar creature beings who materialized into the Material Plane as immigrants, magically becoming Material creatures. These Astral creatures that are made out of thought are becoming clothed in the flesh and blood of the Material Plane. It is an incarnation. Perhaps this entanglement with materiality hides the part of them that is aware of the Astral Plane.A similar thing happens with Elves. In their case, they originate as Astral thought. But they physicalize as forces becoming spirits of the Feywild. But some of these spirits incarnated into the Material Plane − materializing as creatures of flesh and blood.Most Ardlings appear to remain in the Astral Plane, in the dominion of Beastlands. The ancestors had already evolved there into the bipedal humanimals. Some of these immigrated into the Material Plane, becoming the ancestors of incarnated Ardlings.It is interesting. Something like a choice. They can use magic to manifest into the Material as conjurations that are made out magical force. These physical forms are temporary. But some choose to take on Material flesh and blood becoming natural creatures within the Material World.Since both Ardling and Tabaxi come from Beastlands, it is clear that the Tabaxi is one of the kinds Ardling.That could happen too. A natural Material animal is, for whatever reason, transformed by the Divine magic of Beastlands, thus becoming a Material Ardling.It would be a guided evolution into a bipedal form, reminding me of the recent Guardians of the Galaxy movie.Genasis are obviously Elemental, but I am ok with them being "Primordial" in a sense that is of Astral origin.Aasimar and Tiefling are counterparts who parallel, because they each can come from several alignment dominions.The playtest Tiefling mentions three Evil dominions: Hells, Hades Gray Waste, and Abyss. But the Fiends of other Evil dominions can reproduce Tieflings too: Acheron, Gehenna, Carceri, and Pandemonium. The appearances and traits differ by plane.Same situation for the Aasimar. There are many Good dominions whose inhabitants can reproduce Aasimar: Arcadia, Celestia, Bitopia, Elysium, Beastlands, Arborea, and what is currently Ysgard.The Ardling that the playtest describes is what an Aasimar looks like who comes from Beastlands.</blockquote>
