I have designed two new player character races for 5th edition D&D, hoping to get some playtesters outside of my own group in order to fine tune and properly balance both races. Looking for constructive feedback.
Below is an overview.
Lamandari
Two races collectively referred to as the Keepers: the Taurhin and the Henduin.
Taurhin
Children of the forest, guardians of all that grows wild, green, and free, the Taurhin are an ancient race whose origins are shrouded in myth.
Some scholars believe the taurhin to be fey eladrin, dispatched to Abeir-Toril by Rillifane Rallathil at the time of the First Sundering, to protect the woodlands and return harmony to a world torn by violent magic.
Others believe the taurhin to be the first children of the arakhor, created out of the soil to be the shepherds of the forest.
Still others claim that the taurhin were the issue of the first elves and the dryads.
Whatever may be their origin, the taurhin remain, and it is said that they will remain until at last the High Forest fails.
Henduin
In the Dawn Age of Abeir-Toril, a select group of the eladrin of Arvandor most favored by Rillifane Rallathil and Sarula Iliene were gifted with fey magics and sent to the material plane as guardians of the fresh waters so beloved by Sarula. These first fey eladrin and their descendants have become known as the Henduin, protectors of rivers, lakes, and streams.
