Also known as the startouched, the first empyreans were said to be human wizards who attained magical transcendance by harnessing unknown cosmic forces. So strong was their connection to the heavens that it has passed down to all of their progeny through the generations. This bond imparts them with an innate capacity for magic as well as an exceptionally long lifespan, while at the same time making them extremely sensitive to cosmic events.

Physical Description

Empyreans appear completely human, with one notable exception. All empyreans have stark white hair. Whether this is the result of their celestial nature or merely an unrelated trait of the bloodline is uncertain.

Personality

Due to their sensitivity to celestial events, empyreans tend to be very superstitious regarding astrological phenomena, and indeed react strangely to conjunctions, eclipses, lunar phases, meteor showers, and the like. Although they appear otherwise human, empyreans nonetheless possess an otherworldly aura and an unsettlingly distant demeanor that sets them apart.

Relations

Empyreans acknowledge one-another as peers but are too few to possess a social order of their own. They view other races, as they do most things, with a large degree of detachment. They regard each race objectively for its own merits and flaws, more often than not seeming incredibly tolerant. Among other races, they are well-respected as astrologers and advisors.

Notable Empyreans

Kessek LeStral, the current leader of the Berylline Syndicate and master of planar magic, is said to have charted the ley lines upon which Orn later shattered.

Costuming Requirements

Empyrean characters must wear white wigs or hair paint.
