Awake in Alucinar: Ameslari (New Player Race)

ameslari 2
AMESLARI

The ameslari are rarities in their native dimension of Alucinar and virtually unheard of in Aventyr. These anomalies are not naturally occurring and do not possess true souls of their own—they are the accrued essence of intelligent creatures that died while sleeping or within the boundaries of the Plane of Dreams. Being composed of the fractured minds of multiple souls makes each ameslari vastly different from the next, but they share similar traits and with no better allies available on the Dreaming Island, often band together for safety.

History
Ameslari have been a part of Alucinar for as long as any can remember, including the dream dragon Sleepless Sonuvanje. However their disparate natures make unifying cultural standards virtually impossible, their nomadic way of life leaves little to build upon, and with no means to naturally procreate there is very little incentive to leave something for the “next generation”.

Physical Description: Ameslari have a primary form and a secondary persona that changes with each day after a period of restful meditation. The primary form can be of any humanoid, and the secondary form can be of anything at all, though it is shrouded and shaded with the magenta and violet hues of Alucinar.

Society: With no major traditions and a persistently nomadic lifestyle, ameslari have only one means through which they bond: storytelling. Bards and minstrels among their number are honored individuals highly valued for their craft, though over time all ameslari tend to develop a mastery for telling tales.

Relations: The pervasive dangers of the Plane of Dreams make kindliness and generosity among ameslari paramount—trust and loyalty are their primary weapons against the dangerous and varied monsters that wander Alucinar. They are wary of newcomers but once it is clear there is no danger, ameslari are willing to share their companionship with anyone.

Alignment and Religion: Ameslari worship a variety of deities and gods, with a particular fondness for Leahcim and a violent hatred for “the dead god“.

Adventurers: Most ameslari remember being adventurers before their untimely demise and have a hard time kicking the habit.

Ameslari Names: Ameslari tend to combine the names their various parts once had when living.
