Daughters of Kyth

Long ago there was a great war on the Ethereal borders. Slaves of the Darkness rebelled. Their leader was the Great Kyth.

These sons and daughters fought for their freedom, and won, but at a great cost. Kyth was utterly destroyed in the battle, consumed as if she never existed.

The former slaves had always been kept separate from one another as far as male and female, and when the final backlash of titanic magical energy ripped the fabric of existence they were again cast far from one another.

Over millennia the Daughters of Kyth developed great skill at the Celestial arts, and traveled the planes in search of what had happened to their beloved mother Kyth. As they travelled they became one with the planes around them, and their appearances changed to reflect their new power.

Finally, they were reunited with their brothers, but too late, for the male of the species had made a horrible and unforgivable mistake. The arrogant males’ legends held that Kyth was a male. Further they bent their lives toward the ways of Arcanist magic.

So, the debate began, and though the two are of one race they no longer have the same beliefs, and neither side is willing to give in as to the true identity of Kyth.

Daughters of Kyth are very long lived; they can endure for thousands of years.

Makeup Requirements

Daughters of Kyth have yellow to bright gold skin with darker highlights and spots. The Daughters of Kyth’s hair is usually a dark color, but may be any natural color. A daughter of Kyth often has only a top knot of hair and this can be achieved through a prosthetic cap. Daughters of Kyth have serrated ears as well. Nose prosthetics to make the players nostrils appear as slits are also encouraged.

Daughters of Kyth tend to wear costuming of a flowing nature, often adorned with magical symbols or glyphs. They also often cover their bodies with a cloak or hood to cover their obviously alien nature.

Inherent Advantages

Because of their otherworldly origins, the Daughters of Kyth have been exposed to the powerful ethereal forces of their hidden home. Thus, Daughters of Kyth may purchase the skill Resist Arcanist Magic up to 5 times regardless of their profession.

For example, if a daughter of Kyth has a 4,3,2,1 primary Celestial column they may cast 5,4,3,2 spells. These bonus spells MUST be a Celestial only spell.
