Illumian are humans who have undergone an arcane ritual that turns them into Illumian. Few today still undergo the ritual, and instead most are born into the race as they breed true. They have a love of both knowledge and language. While a somewhat secluded race, people sometimes people encounter them traveling from cabal to cabal, looking for knowledge, or as exiles.

Physical Qualities[]
Illumians look very similar to humans. They are on average slightly taller and less dense. Their skin color is commonly pale. More than half of the race is bald, but those who do have hair commonly have red or blond hair. Facial hair is very rare. The most striking feature is the ring of runes that circle around their head. The runes can be of any color and vary from person or person. The runes rarely change unless something dramatic has happened to the person.
They prefer expensive garb, especially robes. They are generally very particular about keeping their clothing unstained and in good condition. Many Illumian wear makeup, though the more makeup one has on the more they want to be left alone.
Illumian age similarly to humans. They can expect a slightly longer lifespan, usually topping out at 120 years. Illumian infants usually start talking a week or two after birth, thought physical development is still like a normal human's.
Playing an Illumian[]
Most Illumian are raised in a cabal. A cabal is a community of Illumians who live together, generally in a secluded space. Cabals often spring up around a central idea, like using the starts to predict prophesies, or to the study of druidic magic. Illumians have one true city, hidden away in the shadowfell where they are by far the most dominant race.
Illumian are closest to the goddess Ioun for her love of knowledge. Some evil Illumian instead choose to follow Vecna. The Illumian who practice religion often gather together since most Illumian just feel closer to arcane magic than divine magic. Those away from home can most commonly be seen offering prayers to Sehanine and Avandra. A few Illumian follow Erathis or Moradin.
Illumians have a love of knowledge and language and can be found studying books all the time. They are taught at a young age not to waste time on silly things and to take their studying seriously. Common ways of relaxing can be writing poetry, reading books, or listening to music.
