Jotunborn
Source Monster Core 2 pg. 202Jotunborn are large humanoids with indirect connections to ancient giants like titans. In ancient days, jotunborn served the gods as custodians for new worlds. They lived in a sub-planar realm between the mortal Universe and the Ethereal Plane known as the Fray, and they emerged as necessary to tend to the worlds they watched over. These planar associations granted jotunborn unique abilities, including the ability to travel between planes and shaping the physical aspects of the Universe. At present, many jotunborn have found their planar abilities diminished or disrupted, and they're now more common in the Universe. The original abilities of jotunborn have diminished in power over time. What was once a people capable of teleportation at great distances or the ability to reshape mountain ranges, is now a group that has minor magical abilities. These abilities can grow in power, however, usually as a jotunborn ages, becomes more attuned to planar energies, or weaves more iivlar silk into their skin. Particularly skilled jotunborn mages and warriors are capable of feats that rival those of their forebears.
Jotunborn who live in the mortal Universe tend to lead reclusive lives. Many other ancestries confuse jotunborn with frost giants or cloud giants due to a jotunborn's size and skin coloration. This confusion can lead to fear or hostility, a reaction that most jotunborn prefer to avoid. Due to the difficulties that come with living in the Fray, many jotunborn are fiercely loyal to those they trust. These loyalties help keep fellow jotunborn alive, and these sentiments extend to any other people that befriend a jotunborn.
Iivlars and Jotunborn
When living within the Fray, jotunborn make use of a local fauna known as iivlars. These insectile creatures produce special silks that glow with light. Jotunborn weave these silks into their skin both to help keep track of each other in the darkness of the Fray, but also as signs of status or skill. Iivlars are particularly important to jotunborn culture and intentionally harming an iivlar is a grave offense.
